Jasmin Kennard serves as an Instructor in the Chemical, Biological, and Environmental Engineering department at Oregon State University's College of Engineering. A recent Cornell University Ph.D. graduate (2024), she holds advanced degrees in Chemical Engineering from both Cornell (M.S., 2021) and Oregon State University (B.S., 2018).
Her educational credentials include:
- Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering, Cornell University, 2024
- M.S. in Chemical Engineering, Cornell University, 2021
- B.S. in Chemical Engineering, Oregon State University, 2018
Dr. Kennard specializes in high-throughput computational modeling of mesoscale self-assembly using chemistry-agnostic frameworks, with particular expertise in multicomponent systems, ordered assemblies, and solid solution formations. Her research integrates material science software development with policy analysis for microelectronic supply chain security, demonstrating cross-disciplinary applications from nanoscale physics to national security infrastructure.
Analysis of her recent publications reveals a concentrated research trajectory in colloidal self-assembly phenomena, especially examining crystal formation in binary particle systems with size variations. Her work consistently bridges computational chemical engineering with soft matter physics, focusing on phase behavior, crystallographic structures, and demixing processes in complex colloidal compounds.
Professional experience includes RAND Corporation's Homeland Security Operational Analysis Center where she assessed microelectronic supply chain vulnerabilities, and Schrödinger, Inc.'s Polymers team developing solvation pathway algorithms for Material Science Maestro software. Current academic responsibilities center on chemical engineering instruction within Oregon State's engineering college.
