Claudia E. Tait is a Royal Society University Research Fellow in the Department of Chemistry at the University of Oxford. Her research focuses on advancing Electron Spin Resonance (ESR) spectroscopy to enhance the understanding of fundamental spin-dependent processes in materials and devices used in photovoltaics. Having graduated summa cum laude from the University of Padova, she then pursued her DPhil at the University of Oxford, supervised by Professor Christiane R. Timmel. During her doctoral studies, she utilized various ESR techniques to investigate the electronic structural properties of artificial supramolecular porphyrin arrays in biological systems, which earned her the Bruker Thesis Prize from the ESR group of the Royal Society of Chemistry. Subsequently, she served as a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Washington in Seattle under Professor Stefan Stoll from 2015 to 2017 and then moved to Freie Universität Berlin for a Marie Curie Individual Fellowship, collaborating with Professors Jan Behrends and Robert Bittl from 2017 to 2020. Her work has been recognized with the John Weil Young Investigator Award from the International ESR Society in 2016.
