Jess graduated with an MChem in Chemistry from the University of Bath in 2012. Her final year project involved calculating the energies associated with various optical processes occurring within sapphire (α-Al2O3). Jess undertook a summer scholarship in order to continue and publish the work carried out in the final year of her degree. Jess’s other interests include playing sports non-competitively and wine tasting.
