Louis Antoinette Berben is an Australian American chemist who is Professor of Inorganic Chemistry at the University of California, Davis. She was awarded the 2024 American Chemical Society Award in Organometallic Chemistry.

Early life and education

Berben was born in Sydney.[1] She was an undergraduate student at the University of New South Wales.[1] She moved to the University of California, Berkeley for doctoral research, where she worked alongside Jeffrey R. Long. She was a postdoctoral researcher with Jonas C. Peters at the California Institute of Technology, and together they moved to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.[1]

Research and career

Berben joined the University of California, Davis in 2009. Her group considers synthetic inorganic chemistry, looking at new transition metal and main group molecules. She is interested in molecules with unusual molecular structures, to enable bond making and breaking reactions.[2] She has developed renewable fuels and chemicals from captured carbon dioxide.[3][4]
