 English AACR2 Anglo-American Cataloguing Rules Person created 2019-10-01 human Helen Cohn updated 2026-03-16 human https://www.eoas.info/biogs/P006586b.htm person Coote Michelle Louise FAA AACR2 Polymer chemist Michelle Coote is recognised as a pioneer in the development and application of accurate computational chemistry for modelling radical polymerization processes, and for her contributions to understanding the kinetics of these complicated processes and designing improved reagents for manipulating their outcome. Her research interests currently focus on harnessing of electric fields for chemical catalysis and development of techniques for controlling the stereochemistry of radical polymerisation. In 2011 Coote was appointed the first female Professor of Chemistry at the Australian National University. She is active in professional organisations including the Royal Australian Chemical Institute for which she has chaired several Divisions. 1995 1995 Education - Bachelor of Science (BSc(Hons)), University of New South Wales 2000 2000 Education - Doctor of Philosophy (PhD), University of New South Wales 2000 2000 Award - Cornforth Medal, Royal Australian Chemical Institute 2001 2001 Career position - Postdoctoral fellow, Research School of Chemistry, Australian National University 2001 2001 Award - International Union for Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) Prize for young scientists 2004 2011 Career position - Research Fellow, Research School of Chemistry, Australian National University 2006 2006 Award - Rennie Memorial Medal, Royal Australian Chemical Institute 2010 2010 Award - ARC Future Fellowship 2010 2010 Award - David Sangster Polymer Science and Technology Achievement Award 2010 2010 Award - Le Fèvre Memorial Prize for Chemistry, Australian Academy of Science 2011 Career position - Professor of Chemistry, Australian National University 2011 2011 Award - David Sangster Polymer Science and Technology Achievement Award, Polymer Division, Royal Australian Chemical Institute 2012 2012 Career position - Chair, Physical Division, Royal Australian Chemical Institute 2013 Award - Fellow, Royal Society of Chemistry, United Kingdom 2013 2015 Career position - Immediate Past Chair, Physical Division, Royal Australian Chemical Institute 2014 Award - Fellow, Australian Academy of Science (FAA) 2015 2015 Award - Pople Medal, Asia-Pacific Association for Theoretical and Computational Chemistry 2016 Career position - Associate Editor, Journal of the American Chemical Society 2016 2016 Award - H.
