After graduating with First Class Honors in Chemistry (M.Chem.) from the University of Leeds, Jessica completed her doctorate (D.Phil.) in Inorganic Chemistry at the University of Oxford. Her current research focuses on designing novel metallocene catalysts for targeted polymerization applications, which has led to the development and planned commercialization of a new industrial-scale catalyst system. Her patented research has yielded 8 papers in the last two years and resulted in her presenting her work around the world. She was also recently recruited by Argonne National Laboratory (ANL) to move her research to the U.S. and apply her work to the upcycling of plastic waste.
