Biography
Erin Leitao is a Senior Lecturer in Chemistry at the University of Auckland.
Research interests
Erin’s research is interested in discovering new catalytic ways to link earth abundant main group elements together with the eventual aim of making long chains (polymers) either with the same atom or two different atoms alternating along the polymer backbone. These new materials will have really interesting properties (eg semi-conducting).
My research programme involves linking earth abundant elements together in an effort to make new materials.
