We are back with another week of #WNBiPonWednesdays! This week we had the amazing opportunity to interview to Dr Jess Wade, an associate professor in functional materials! Thanks for taking the time to talk to us Jess. \u269b\ufe0f\ud83e\udd7c\"\"<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

As an introduction, what is your area of expertise?<\/span><\/p>\n

I work in new materials for future technologies- optoelectronic, electronic, spintronic and <\/span>quantum technologies<\/span>. We are particularly interested in how we can use these molecules to tell us information about their environments. If we can make them really sensitive, they could be used for new types of magnetic imaging systems for brain scanning. My interest in molecules started from the physics department at Imperial, thinking about how we can use molecular (\u201corganic\u201d) <\/span>semiconductors <\/span>for solar panels. These molecules have very attractive properties for quantum technologies as well. Molecules have accessible <\/span>quantum states <\/span>(e.g. electronic or spin levels), that can be manipulated to create superpositions using optical or electrical pulses. They are also inherently <\/span>reproducible<\/span>, scalable and operate at room temperature, which is good for engineering quantum technologies ready for the real world. Imperial has great strengths in molecular semiconductors for optoelectronics, and the development of <\/span>quantum sensors<\/span>, so we\u2019re in a great place to explore molecular quantum.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Can you describe your path into Physics?<\/span><\/p>\n

I went to art school for a year at Chelsea and then I did <\/span>History of Art<\/span> in Italy. Then I started doing physics at Imperial. I started on a 3-year course but then I had no idea what I wanted to do when I finished, so I swapped to a 4-year course, where I ended up doing a project on materials on <\/span>solar panels<\/span> for my MSci project. Both of my parents were medical doctors, so I had no idea that a PhD in physics was a thing, but I realised during my MSci that I really love working with a team of people working together on a <\/span>scientific challenge<\/span>. Everyone had a different background, and different ideas, but were working towards the same problem. Everyone was so clever, curious and passionate,<\/span> so I decided to stay for a<\/span> PhD<\/span> at Imperial. But being passionate all the time is tiring, and when my best friends graduated, I realised that doing a PhD can be quite lonely and hard. That\u2019s when I started doing so much <\/span>outreach<\/span>!<\/span><\/p>\n

Academia can be quite tough, there\u2019s a lot of rejection, and you have to develop a <\/span>thick skin<\/span>. My viva was two fantastic chemistry Professors, both of whom made me want to stay in research. I thought, \u2018this is the best job in the world!\u2019, so I applied to work with both of them. I ended working in the <\/span>Department of Chemistry<\/span> at Imperial, looking at how <\/span>chirality<\/span> of molecules influences light. It was an amazing mix of physicists, chemists and engineers that made us able to do new technological things that we couldn\u2019t before. In your academic career there will be people who teach you that are so great and supportive and <\/span>inspiring <\/span>and they don\u2019t just open the door, they invite you to come in. I like collecting examples of good practice. I have been around people who make me think differently scientifically, in academic discovery, research culture and teaching culture, which is good for everyone in the system.<\/span><\/p>\n

Can you tell us a bit about your experience as a woman in Physics? Both the good and the bad.<\/span><\/p>\n

My PhD group was basically entirely men; and sometimes that feeling of being so outnumbered was a bit <\/span>uncomfortable<\/span>. I guess it\u2019s the same as at undergrad: sometimes you feel like you have to try twice as hard to be taken seriously. I couldn\u2019t just be okay; I had to be great to <\/span>justify <\/span>my place there. There is a massive external pressure that you just kind of internalise. And then in your PhD you have do it more, because it’s not just your classmates but the academic system underestimating you, so you start to over deliver to make sure they don\u2019t do that anymore. When you start doing outreach or being outspoken on <\/span>diversity<\/span>, that\u2019s what people start to know you for. I was told I would have to work twice as hard to convince people I was a <\/span>\u201cproper scientist\u201d<\/span> and get a fellowship. I think there is an old-fashioned opinion in academia that you can\u2019t do a bunch of different things well, because if you were really good, you\u2019d just do one thing. But doing a lot of different things makes you better, you see the world differently, you find new opportunities. Having different hobbies like being <\/span>creative <\/span>makes you better scientifically.<\/span><\/p>\n

As a woman in physics you can be invited to speak at a conference, then look at the website and realise it\u2019s just a wall of men\u2026.and it dawns on you that you<\/span> have probably just been invited to speak because they were criticised for just inviting<\/span> men. Sometimes it\u2019s good to call things out, but I have learned that if you go to people with <\/span>constructive solutions <\/span>rather than a list of problems and criticisms they are more responsive to change.<\/span><\/p>\n

Do you have any advice for girls in physics?<\/span><\/p>\n

To find the thing that you love to research and ask questions about. Use that to guide and <\/span>motivate <\/span>your study. Physics can be challenging, but it\u2019s challenging in a really <\/span>satisfying <\/span>way because when you find something difficult then you put loads of work in and you finally get it, it feels so great. I would also say to find a group of people that you can discuss your experiences with, the challenges are common and many of us experience them, and there’s so much <\/span>strength <\/span>gained from sharing <\/span>information<\/span>. And, to know when to take time to check out and focus on yourself a bit.<\/span><\/p>\n

What are your hobbies outside of university?<\/span><\/p>\n

I like <\/span>running <\/span>and I really love <\/span>politics<\/span>. One thing I find interesting at the moment is how to explain complicated topics to different audiences. In the past year we have developed quantum courses for civil servants. We want to see the quantum technologies developed in our labs bringing benefits to <\/span>society<\/span>. That means we need the government, industry and investors to get excited too. The intersection of science, policy and advocacy is fascinating. It\u2019s important to keep aware of politics (even though it\u2019s really depressing sometimes!)\u2026and to <\/span>encourage <\/span>young people to vote \u2013 because we\u2019ll need a pro-science government to protect the planet and people that we love.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
