Jess is a Royal Society University Research Fellow and Lecturer in Functional Materials at Imperial College London. Broadly speaking, her research considers new materials for optoelectronic, spintronic and quantum devices, with a focus on chiral molecular materials.

She was previously an Imperial College Research Fellow in SPIN-Lab at Imperial, which is led by Professor Sandrine Heutz. She worked as a postdoctoral researcher in the Fuchter and Campbell groups at Imperial College London, where she optimised these chiral systems such that can absorb/emit circularly polarised (CP) light for CP OLEDs and OPDs.

For her PhD Jess concentrated on organic photovoltaics and the development of advanced characterisation techniques to better understand molecular packing under the supervision of Dr Ji-Seon Kim.

Outside of the lab, Jess is involved with several science communication and outreach initiatives. She is committed to improving diversity in science, both online and offline, and since the start of 2018 has written the Wikipedia biographies of women and people of colour scientists every single day.

Lynne McCorriston is a Research and Business Development Manager for the College of Science and Engineering at the University of Glasgow.

In her role she works with researchers to help identify, shape and support new research activities, aiming to lead to strategic funding and long term impacts.

Lynne also supports researchers to embed impact development, Responsible Innovation and Equality Diversity and Inclusion into their research. The College Research Development team provides support and training for early career staff across grant writing, industrial engagement and career development.

Lynne supports researchers to build connections across the college and University, and with the wider College team, works to link industrial contacts to staff across Science and Engineering who can help address challenges in their organizations.

In 2018 Kim swapped the corporate world to create calm within others. 

Kim delivers meditation & mindfulness sessions using her own experiences & lessons combined with her training to create unique sessions, 

Her passion is helping others to bring awareness to their thoughts, environment and the impact it has on ourselves and on others.

In these sessions she strives to be impactful and  at very least to create some much needed calm.
