Rate My Professor Kay Latham

Latham's research specializations lie in supramolecular chemistry, encompassing synthetic, crystallographic, and theoretical studies on metal-substituted organophosphonates, as well as zeolite synthesis, applications, and crystallization mechanisms investigated via synchrotron X-ray techniques. Her scholarly contributions extend to nanomaterials, quantum dots, metal-organic frameworks, and flexible crystals, with over 6,600 citations across 94 publications. Key works include 'Origin of surface trap states in CdS quantum dots: Relationship between size dependent photoluminescence and sulfur vacancy trap states' (2015, cited 339 times), 'Investigation of two-solvent grinding-assisted liquid phase exfoliation of layered MoS2' (2015, cited 269 times), 'High-performance field effect transistors using electronic inks of 2D molybdenum oxide nanoflakes' (2016, cited 216 times), 'Measuring the mechanical properties of flexible crystals using bi-modal atomic force microscopy' (2019, cited 23 times), and 'Probing Nanoscale Interactions of Antimicrobial Zinc Oxide Quantum Dots on Bacterial and Fungal Cell Surfaces' (2022). Through her dual focus on advanced materials research and gender equity leadership, Latham has profoundly influenced both scientific innovation and inclusive practices in STEMM disciplines.
