Why Is Jackie Akhavan Influential?
(Suggest an Edit or Addition)According to Wikipedia, Jacqueline Akhavan is a British chemist and expert in the chemistry of explosives. Early life and education Akhavan grew up in a house in Bermondsey, South London where there was an outdoor toilet and a tin bath. of postdoctoral research, she decided that her future lay in academia. She was then advised against going directly into a university career. She was instead told by her PhD advisor to go into the industry, as experience in industry would help her gain an understanding of the commercial environment. This advice helped her move back into academia once she decided to become a lecturer. After graduating, she began working at Pirelli General developing polymeric optical fibers for communication. She worked at Pirelli for 3 years when she went back into academia by joining Cranfield University as a polymer and physical chemistry lecturer. She also received her master's degree in Philosophy in 1982 and her PhD in polymer chemistry from Southampton University.
