Background
Dr Cranwell was appointed as a Lecturer in April 2017. Prior to that she was appointed as a Teaching Fellow in Organic Chemistry, starting in October 2013. Prior to this she was a postdoctoral research assistant in the group of Professor Erick M Carreira at ETH Zürich and worked towards the synthesis of polyhalogenated natural products.She undertook her PhD studies under the supervision of Professor Steven V Ley at the University of Cambridge and worked towards the synthesis of a complex natural product. She also helped to develop the use of TeflonAF-2400 gas permeable membrane to allow for the synthesis of pyrroles using gaseous ammonia in a continuous flow process.
Prior to this, she pursued her undergraduate studies at the University of Southampton and spent six months undertaking a research project at Nanyang Technological University in Singapore with Professor Roderick W Bates. During the break between finishing her PhD studies and starting her postdoctoral work, she undertook a short research project within the Gale Group at the University of Southampton.
