Biography

Deborah Crawford is an Assistant Professor of Sustainable Materials and Manufacturing at the University of Birmingham, with a joint affiliation in the School of 浪花直播 and the School of Chemical Engineering. She earned her Ph.D. from Queen鈥檚 University Belfast (QUB) in 2015, focusing on gold(I) diphosphine complexes as optical sensors. Following this, she was seconded to MOF Technologies, where she explored the continuous, solvent-free synthesis of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) using twin-screw extrusion (TSE). She then continued at QUB to further investigate mechanochemical scale-up via TSE and contribute to the development of Type 2 Porous Liquids. Her research is focused on advancing mechanochemical synthesis, either by developing new methodologies or adapting existing technologies. Her work spans a broad range of materials, from fine chemicals to supramolecular structures, with a strong focus on sustainable and scalable manufacturing.
