Alison R. Fout is an American inorganic chemist at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign where she holds the rank of associate professor. She has contributed to the discovery of new catalysts with NHC ligands.[1] She discovered a family of catalysts that reduce oxyanions such as nitrate, perchlorate to nitric oxide and chloride, respectively.[2]

Recognition[]

As an independent investigator, she received the following recognition:

She also was recognized from scientific journals. In 2016, she received recognition as New Talent Americas from Dalton Transactions. That same year, the American Chemical Society awarded her as an Emerging Investigator in Bioinorganic Chemistry. In 2019 she received the Thieme Chemistry Journals Award. In 2017 she presented the Dalton Lectures at the University of California, Berkeley. At the 2018 Metals in Biology Gordon Conference, she received the Ed Stiefel Young Investigator Award.
