Jessica R. Lamb

Jessica R. Lamb is an Assistant Professor and McKnight Land-Grant Professor at the University of Minnesota, Department of Chemistry. Her research spans catalysis, physical organic chemistry, and polymer chemistry.

• Developing switchable N-heterocyclic carbene organocatalysts
• Designing sustainable non-isocyanate polyurethanes for high-temperature applications
• Combining polymerization mechanisms for novel materials

The Lamb group emphasizes interdisciplinary training and mechanistic investigations, with a focus on sustainable synthesis. Recent publications highlight structure-property relationships in polymers and NHC-CDI adducts.

Dr. Lamb is recognized for her contributions via the McKnight Land-Grant Professorship. Her lab receives funding from NSF, ACS PRF, and 3M NTFA, among others.

The Lamb Research Group actively mentors graduate students and prioritizes diversity, equity, and inclusion in STEM. They are currently accepting new graduate research students.
