Helen Sneddon is a British chemist who is Professor of Sustainable Chemistry and Director of the Green Chemistry Centre of Excellence at the University of York. Her research looks to identify sustainable synthetic strategies, including alternatives to carbon-halogen bonds and ways to make chemical products more robust.
Sneddon was an undergraduate student at the University of Cambridge, where she worked alongside Steven V. Ley. After earning her doctorate, Sneddon was supported by a Royal Commission for the Exhibition of 1851 fellowship to move to the University of California, Irvine, where she worked on asymmetric synthesis of palladium(II) compounds.[1]
