Kim Jelfs completed her PhD in Computational Chemistry at University College London, working on the development and application of modelling to understand zeolite crystal growth and was awarded the Ramsay Medal for the best completing PhD student. She was subsequently a visiting researcher at the Universitat de Barcelona, working with Prof. Stefan Bromley on the prediction of silicate cluster formation, before moving to the University of Liverpool, working as a PDRA across the experimental groups of Profs. Matt Rosseinsky and Andy Cooper. She was focused upon modelling porous materials, with my expertise spanning zeolites, metal-organic frameworks, polymers and porous molecular materials. Several of her computational predictions were experimentally realised. She began at Imperial in 2013 as a Royal Society University Research Fellow (URF) and since 2022 is a Professor of Computational Material Chemistry. Kim was awarded a 2018 Royal Society of Chemistry Harrison-Meldola Memorial Prize, a 2019 Philip Leverhulme Prize in Chemistry and was named the 2022 UK Blavatnik Awards Laureate in Chemistry. Kim holds an ERC Starting Grant and is an Associate Editor for Chemical Communications.
