Chris received a BSc in Interdisciplinary Physics from the University of Michigan and a PhD in Materials from the University of California, Santa Barbara. He joined the University of Cambridge as a Research Associate and Borysiewicz Biomedical Sciences Fellow. In 2020, Chris started as a BBSRC David Phillips Fellow and group leader in the Engineering Department at Cambridge, before moving to Oxford in 2022.
Dr Jennifer Soong
Jennifer Soong’s areas of research include poetry and poetics, aesthetics, and modern and contemporary American literature. She received her BA from Harvard and her PhD in English from Princeton.
Soong is currently working on two book projects.
