Hazel Rosotti (born 1 February 1930) is a British chemist and science writer.

Early life and education

Rossotti (née Marsh) left Millfield School in 1948 and completed her undergraduate and PhD at the University of Oxford.[1][2][3] Her research considered the stability of metal-ion complexes, and she worked under the supervision of Robert Williams.[4][5][6] In 1952 she married fellow chemist Francis Rossotti, a fellow graduate student, at St Peter-in-the-East, now part of St Edmund Hall, Oxford.[7]

Career

In 1962 Rossotti was appointed a Fellow and Tutor at St Anne's College, Oxford, and retired in 1997.[8] She was an advisor to Mary Archer. Rossotti is an Honorary Fellow at St Anne's College, Oxford.[9]

Books

She has published several science books, including:

  • 1969 - Chemical Applications of Potentiometry[10]
  • 1970 - H2O[11]
  • 1971 - Metals[12]
  • 1975 - Air[13]
  • 1975 - Introducing Chemistry[14]
  • 1978 - Study of Ionic Equilibria[15]
  • 1985 - Why the World Isn't Grey[16]
  • 1993 - Fire[17]
  • 1998 - Diverse Atoms[18]
  • 2006 - Chemistry in the Schoolroom: 1806[19][20]
