About me
Elizabeth Krenske obtained her PhD in synthetic main-group chemistry in 2005 from the Australian National University, where she worked with Professor Bruce Wild. After two years of postdoctoral research at the ANU she was awarded a Fulbright Postdoctoral Scholarship and spent two years at the University of California, Los Angeles, working in the field of theoretical and computational chemistry with Professor Kendall Houk. She returned to Australia in 2009 as an ARC Australian Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Melbourne, and then moved to the University of Queensland in 2012 as an ARC Future Fellow. She is currently a Professor in the UQ School of Chemistry and Molecular Biosciences. Her research was featured in the inaugural Young Investigator issue of the Journal of the American Chemical Society. She is a Fellow of the Royal Australian Chemical Institute, Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry, Fellow of the Higher Education Academy and former Associate Editor of the RSC journal Organic & Biomolecular Chemistry.
Research focus and collaborations
The Krenske laboratory uses computer simulations to explore molecular structure and behaviour, from small molecules to proteins. The laboratory’s research is directed toward the invention of new chemical technologies (e.g. catalysts) and the understanding of biomolecular processes (e.g. protein/drug interactions).
Current research activities include:
- fundamental explorations of the reaction mechanisms of organic and biological reactions
- development of computer-based technologies for the design of new catalysts for chemical synthesis
- modelling and prediction of drug/biomolecule interactions and their roles in determining drug efficacy and toxicity
- computational prediction of molecular spectroscopic properties for natural products structure determination and optoelectronic materials design
