Jacqueline Manina Cole is the Head of the Molecular Engineering group in the Cavendish Laboratory at the University of Cambridge.

[8] As a Royal Society University Research Fellow,[1] Cole developed a new analytical approach to establish the photo-induced structures of optoelectronic materials.

[2][11] In dye-sensitized solar cells, the dye absorbs sunlight, injecting electrons into titanium dioxide nanoparticles and starting an electric circuit.

[15] Whilst working at the Argonne National Laboratory, Cole used in situ neutron reflectometry to study the interaction between the electrolytes and electrodes in dye-sensitized solar cells.

[22] Cole studied the origins of the nonlinear optics observed in N-methylurea, where solid-state intermolecular interactions and electron-donation from the methyl group separate it from the reference material urea.

[25] The fellowship is a collaboration between the Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC), BASF and ISIS neutron source to discover functional materials systematically.
