Prof. Wendy L. Queen obtained her PhD in chemistry from Clemson University in August 2009. Upon receipt of her PhD, she was awarded a fellowship from the National Research Council to study neutron scattering at the NIST Centre for Neutron Research in Gaithersburg Maryland. Here, she chose to focus her work on elucidating small molecule interactions on the internal surface of porous materials, such as metal-organic frameworks and zeolites. In 2012, she was appointed a project scientist position at the Molecular Foundry at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in Berkeley California where she helped launch a new user program focused on the synthesis and characterization of porous adsorbents. In 2015, she was appointed Assistant Professor in the Institute of Chemical Sciences and Engineering at EPFL, and in 2022, she was promoted to Associate Professor. Her research is focused on the synthesis and characterization of novel porous adsorbents, namely metal-organic frameworks, which are of interest in several applications such as gas and liquid separations.
