How not to waste a chemist's time: Chemical insights through great user experience
Nessa talks about the difficulties of data access and use for chemistry practitioners. She explores solutions that seamlessly combine fundamental chemical data sources with user experience in mind.
Nessa Carson received Master’s degrees in synthesis and catalysis from Oxford University and the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.
She started her career as a synthetic chemist for AMRI, then moved within the company to run the high-throughput automation facility for Eli Lilly in Windlesham, working across discovery and process chemistry, then in high-throughput reaction optimization at Pfizer and then Syngenta. Nessa moved to AstraZeneca Early Chemical Development in 2022 as Digital Champion, focusing on digital transformation. She was awarded the Salters' Institute Centenary Award for early-career chemists with the potential to make an outstanding long-term contribution to industrial chemistry.
