Josh Abbenseth is a lecturer in Inorganic Chemistry at the University of Manchester, specializing in the development of advanced ligand designs and their application in sustainable catalysis. His research merges synthetic inorganic chemistry with various methods including spectroscopy, crystallography, and computational techniques to reveal fundamental structure-reactivity relationships. Abbenseth's work focuses on creating rigid ligand architectures that enable direct participation in redox transformations and proton-coupled electron transfer processes, facilitating the activation of Element–H bonds under mild conditions. His research aims to transform small molecules into valuable chemical feedstocks utilizing redox-active cooperative platforms, investigating main-group and transition-metal cooperativity in hybrid systems. With a background that includes a PhD from Georg-August-Universität Göttingen, and postdoctoral research at the University of Oxford and Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, Josh is dedicated to exploring innovative approaches for sustainable chemical energy conversion and welcomes motivated researchers to join his lab.
