Jennifer Ann Love is an American professor of chemistry at the University of Calgary. She is a Fellow of the Chemical Institute of Canada.

Early life and education

Love was born in

magna cum laude.[3] She moved to Stanford University for graduate studies, where she studied metal-catalyzed reactions to generate seven membered rings.[2] Her thesis considered rhodium-catalysed cycloadditions, and was amongst the first studies to create a biologically active natural product.[4] At Stanford, Love worked in the laboratory of Paul Wender.[2]

Research and career

Love joined the California Institute of Technology as National Institutes of Health postdoctoral fellow with Robert H. Grubbs.[5] She studied the reaction mechanism for olefin metathesis.[2]

In 2003, Love moved to Canada to start her independent scientific career at the University of British Columbia. At UBC, Love led a research group on organometallic chemistry.[3] She also served as Senior Advisor on Women Faculty.[6]

Love moved to the University of Calgary in 2019, where her work focuses on how the metallic center influences the reactivity.[3]
