Jamie completed a combined Bachelor of Arts and Master of Natural Sciences degree at the University of Cambridge, focussing on materials science.  Afterwards, Jamie remained at Cambridge to undertake a doctorate in materials science, looking at shape memory materials, and further postdoctoral research, creating metal foams for air batteries.
