Specialism: Chemistry
Institution: University of Leicester

Jake is an electrochemist. He earned his degrees at Oxford before establishing his research group in 2023 as a Lecturer in Physical Chemistry at Leicester. His research leverages his understanding of electrochemical interactions to tackle environmental challenges. By applying these insights, he develops new methods for recovering valuable elements from electronic waste, innovating pollution-monitoring sensors, and advancing cleaner water treatment technologies. His work directly contributes to sustainability efforts, supporting the circularity of critical elements in sustainable technologies (ReLiB and RECREATE) and achieving cleaner water goals. 

 He co-authored the second edition of Electrode Potentials, an Oxford Chemistry Primer, and serves as a guest editor for a special issue of Current Opinion in Electrochemistry, highlighting electrochemical innovations for a more sustainable future.
