Dr. Kate Marczenko hired by Carleton University

Congratulations to Dr. Kate Marczenko, who has been hired by Carleton University. Dr. Katherine M. Marczenko (Kate) obtained her Bachelor of Science degree in Chemistry from the University of Guelph in Guelph, Ontario. She conducted research projects during her undergraduate studies under the guidance of Prof. Michael Denk and Prof. Dmitriy Soldatov. Kate further pursued a Master of Science degree at McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario. Under the supervision of Prof. Gary Schrobilgen, she focused on the transformation of shock-sensitive xenon oxides into shock-insensitive materials. In 2018, Kate joined the group of Prof. Saurabh Chitnis at Dalhousie University in Halifax, Nova Scotia. Here, she pursued her Ph.D. studies, dedicating her research efforts to investigating the chemistry of heavy Group 15 amides. Kate's research accomplishments were acknowledged through various accolades, including the prestigious Vanier award.


Returning to her alma mater, the University of Guelph, in 2021, Kate assumed the role of Crystallographer and Instructor, where she excelled in sharing her expertise and inspiring the next generation of scientists.

Continuing her academic journey, Kate is set to embark on a new chapter as she joins Carleton University in Ottawa, Ontario, starting June 1, 2023. Her research program will focus on the intersection of energetic materials, main-group chemistry, and crystallography.
