Katrina (Kate) Anne Jolliffe is an Australian supramolecular and organic chemist and professor at the University of Sydney.
In 2002 Jolliffe was awarded an ARC fellowship at the University of Sydney. She was made a senior lecturer in 2007, promoted associate professor in 2008 and full professor in 2009. From 2013 to 2016 she was head of the school of chemistry.[1]
Jolliffe is a Fellow of both the Royal Society of New South Wales and the Royal Australian Chemical Institute. In 2020 she was elected a Fellow of the Australian Academy of Science.[2] She has won a number of awards including the Biota Award for Medicinal Chemistry, A. J. Birch, H.G. Smith Memorial medals, and Margaret Sheil Leadership Awards from the Royal Australian Chemical Institute.[3]
Jolliffe's research interests include the development of molecules that recognise and sense anions, and the synthesis of natural and novel cyclic peptides.[4]
