Jaidene graduated from the University of Bath with a Masters degree in Chemistry in 2019. As part of her degree, she also completed a yearlong research placement at the University of South Australia’s Future Industries Institute. For her master’s research project, under Professor Matthew Davidson’s supervision, she focussed on investigating the effect of extending the carbon chain length of diols when synthesising bio-sourced polyester materials. In her spare time, Jaidene enjoys practising karate, going on hikes and drinking quality coffee.
