Anna Wuttig is Neubauer Family Assistant Professor at the University of Chicago in the Department of Chemistry. Her research interests encompass catalysis, organic chemistry, inorganic chemistry, and materials chemistry. The Wuttig group is dedicated to synthesizing products across the chemical value chain, particularly focusing on the underlying science of chemical reactivity at electrified interfaces. They explore the innovative use of electricity as a readily available energy input for chemical synthesis, aiming to develop scalable and energy-efficient processes for creating value-added products like fuels and complex molecules. A significant aspect of their research involves understanding the intricate structures at interfaces and the impact of electron transfer events on the catalytic activation of small, complex molecules. To achieve this, Wuttig employs a combination of synthetic and physical inorganic tools, bridging the gap between inorganic and organic chemistry. This research not only seeks to advance the design principles for selective chemical syntheses but also aims to improve the efficiency and sustainability of energy conversion systems by leveraging abundant resources and feedstocks.
