Meet Jamie
Jamie Cadge was born in Suffolk in 1993 and he received his MSci in Medicinal and Biological Chemistry (1st class) from the University of Nottingham in 2016. As an undergraduate, he did two summer placements, one in the lab of Dr James Dowden (Nottingham) and one at GlaxoSmithKline's Medicines Research Centre in Stevenage. Jamie did his final year research project in the lab of Dr (now Prof.) Liam Ball investigated bismuth-mediated fluorination reactions. In 2016, he moved to the University of Bristol for his PhD as part of the Bristol Chemical Synthesis Centre for Doctoral Training where he joined the groups of Dr Chris Russell and Prof. John Bower. Jamie's graduate research was on understanding Au(I)/Au(III) redox processes in the absence of exogenous oxidants for the development of new catalysis. For this work, he was awarded a Faculty of Science Thesis Commendation. In 2021, Jamie moved to Salt Lake City, Utah to join the group of Prof. Matt Sigman as a postdoctoral researcher. During this time, he was a member of the NSF Center for Computer Assisted Synthesis where he was involved in a number of academic and industrial collaborations. Much of his research was around using data science and machine learning models for the understanding and development of organometallic catalytic systems. Jamie began his independent career in 2025 as a Lecturer (Assistant Professor) at the University of Bath joint between the Department of Chemistry and Department of Chemical Engineering.
