Eva Hevia is a Professor of Organometallic Chemistry at the University of Strathclyde, Glasgow.

Education

Hevia was born in Gijón in 1976.[1] She became interested in a science at a very young age.[2] She earned her Masters and PhD from the University of Oviedo in 2002.[1][3]

Research

Hevia was appointed a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Fellow at the University of Strathclyde working with Robert Mulvey in 2006. She became Senior Lecturer in 2010 and Reader in 2011.[4] She was appointed Professor at the University of Strathclyde in 2013, when she was only 38 years old.[5]

Hevia's research is in polar organometallic chemistry. Her research group are interested in the development of multicomponent reagents containing earth-abundant metals for synthesis. The chemistry uses the cooperative effects of two metals, which allows of new areas of chemistry based on metal-mediated organic synthesis and building supramolecular structures.[6] These areas include: metallation for chemoselective functionalisation of organic molecules,[7] sensitive anion trapping,[8] deep eutectic solvents and salt supported organometallic reagents[9] and the catalytic applications of cooperative bimetallics.[10] Her recent focus has been on the activation of N-heterocyclic molecules and green chemistry.[4] Her research will have applications in pharmacology and agricultural chemistry, and will have profound implications on the environment.[5]

Hevia has given over sixty invited talks at lectures.[11][12]
