Dr. Caleb Jadrich focuses his practice on patent drafting and prosecution in areas related to chemistry, materials science, and chemical engineering.
Prior to joining Morrison Foerster, Caleb was a graduate student under Robert M. Waymouth at Stanford University, where he collaborated with an IBM research team to develop catalysts and reactors for living ring-opening polymerization (ROP) of cyclic esters and carbonates. In his research, Caleb utilized continuous flow reactors to control ultrafast polymerizations by strong, hindered bases, resulting in an issued patent (U.S. Patent No. 11,279,798). He also synthesized and characterized degradable, photopolymerizable polyester resins for additive manufacturing (3D printing) of closed lifecycle products. As an undergraduate at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, Caleb developed a thermodynamic scale of hydride-donating ability among a family of iridium bipyridine complexes under Alexander J. M. Miller.
Caleb earned his Ph.D. in chemistry from Stanford University and his B.S. with honors in chemistry from the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill.
