Julia A. Weinstein is a British Russian chemist who is a professor of physical chemistry at the University of Sheffield. Her research considers light matter interactions, including the dynamics of photo-excited electron transfer in condensed matter. She was awarded the Royal Society of Chemistry Chemical Dynamics Award in 2017.
Early life and education[edit]
Weinstein completed her undergraduate degree and doctoral research at the Moscow Lomonosov State University, where she specialised in chemistry. After completing her doctorate, she joined the faculty in Moscow. She moved to the University of Nottingham as a Royal Society Fellow in 2000.[1]
Research and career[edit]
In 2004, Weinstein joined the University of Sheffield as an Advanced Research Fellow and Lecturer. She was promoted to professor in 2016.[citation needed] Her research considers photoinduced charge transfer processes in functional materials. Weinstein uses ultrafast laser pulses to study energy transfer processes across multiple time scales, from femtoseconds to milliseconds.[2] In particular, she is interested in electron and energy transfer in condensed matter, and the role of vibronic coupling. She identified that infrared pulses can be used to control chemical processes.[3]
Awards and honours[edit]
- 2003 Lomonosov Award in Science[1]
- 2004 John Van Geuns Lecture[1]
- 2017 RSC Chemical Dynamics Award[4]
