Dr Georgina Gregory is a Royal Society Dorothy Hodgkin Fellow and Junior Research Fellow in Chemistry at Wadham College. Georgina completed her PhD at the Centre for Sustainable Chemical Technologies (CSCT) at the University of Bath under the supervision of Dr Antoine Buchard. In 2018, She joined the Group of Prof. Charlotte Williams FRS at the University of Oxford as a Postdoctoral Research Associate before being awarded her Fellowship in 2022.
Prior to this, Georgina completed her undergraduate degree in Chemistry at Imperial College London. Her subsequent PhD focused on developing new sugar-based polycarbonates for tissue engineering scaffolds using controlled ring-opening polymerization strategies. As part of her PhD, she conducted a 3-month placement at Syngenta examining polymer coatings. After this, she joined Crown Packaging Ltd, researching polymer coatings for metal packaging. Returning to academia and working with Prof Charlotte Williams, Georgina focused on developing sustainable thermoplastic elastomers and adhesives based on polyesters and polycarbonates. She also explored means of toughening elastomers through ionomers. She joined the Faraday Institution-funded SOLBAT project in 2019, working on polymers for next-generation solid-state batteries.
