Jessica Wade

Jessica Wade is a Lecturer in Functional Materials at Imperial College London, holding a Royal Society University Research Fellowship. Her research develops chiral organic materials for optoelectronic, spintronic, and quantum devices. Focus areas include circularly polarized OLEDs and photodetectors using π-conjugated systems.

Notable for science communication: advocates for diversity in STEM and writes daily Wikipedia biographies of underrepresented scientists. Former postdoc work optimized chiral light-emitting systems at Imperial. PhD focused on organic photovoltaics characterization.
