Press Release: A Life in Polymer Engineering

Lecture presented by Dr. Michael Jeschke, Materials Expert – Siemens

We welcome Michael Jeschke of Siemens Energy to talk about his life researching and
developing polymers leading to the manufacture of subsea connectors locally in Ulverston.
Plastics are taken for granted in everyday life but there is a whole science to explore and
challenges to overcome. His talk will include his work with biaxial oriented polypropylene film
and nonwoven fabrics before discussing subsea connectors. Michael has a degree in Chemistry from Durham
University, an MSc in polymers from Lancaster University, a PhD in polymer networks from
Durham University and an MBA from the University of Northumbria. Prior to his role as Material
Expert Engineer at Siemens Energy, he was a Technology Manager at Technical Fibre
Products Ltd. in Kendal and Senior Project Leader at Innovia Films, Wigton.
