Selina Ambrose

Selina currently holds the position of product manager at Promethean Particles (“Promethean”), an independent venture-capital backed spin-out from the University of Nottingham. Promethean is a UK-based, global pioneer, leading the industrial-scale manufacture of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) – a class of advanced materials. The Company is primarily focused on developing and manufacturing MOFs for the energy transition, particularly for carbon capture and storage (“CCS”), water harvesting, and gas storage applications.

Selina has more than 15 years of experience in the development and commercialisation of advanced material technologies. After being promoted into her current role in 2022, Selina now leads the product management function at Promethean, acting as the critical interface between the external needs of customers and collaboration partners, and the Company’s internal capabilities to deliver them. Prior to this, Selina held the position of Promethean’s technical manager, where she played a key role in successfully winning over £3.5 million in non-dilutive, grant funding for the company to deliver a range of innovative R&D projects.

Selina holds a PhD in Chemical Engineering from the University of Nottingham, where her thesis focused on the continuous-flow hydrothermal synthesis of functional nanomaterials. She is currently an advisory board member of the University of Nottingham Centre for Doctoral Training in Sustainable Chemistry.
