 Jeffrey A. Jansen 

Jeffrey A. Jansen (born June 7, 1963) is an American polymer scientist and a leader in the field of plastics analysis. His particular areas of study and expertise include failure analysis, fractography, lifetime projection studies, chemical compatibility studies, and compositional analysis.

Active in a number of materials-related professional organizations Society of Plastics Engineers webinars

After completing his basic studies in Milwaukee, he earned dual Bachelor's of Science degrees in chemistry and criminal justice from Carroll College (Carroll University) in Waukesha, Wisconsin in 1985. Later in his career he earned a Master's of Science degree in engineering management from Milwaukee School of Engineering in 2000.

Cooper developed the initial peroxide cured semi-conductive rubber utilized in electrical high voltage connectors

Stork Technimet - started polymer testing

In 1974, as a postdoctoral researcher at University of California, Irvine, he and Rowland co-authored a paper in the journal Nature highlighting the threat of CFCs to the ozone layer in the stratosphere.[10] At the time, CFCs were widely used as chemical propellants and refrigerants. Initial indifference from the academic community prompted the pair to hold a press conference at a meeting of the American Chemical Society in Atlantic City in September 1974, in which they called for a complete ban on further releases of CFCs into the atmosphere. Skepticism from scientists and commercial manufacturers persisted, however, and a consensus on the need for action only began to emerge in 1976 with the publication of a review of the science by the National Academy of Sciences. This led to moves towards the worldwide elimination of CFCs from aerosol cans and refrigerators, and it is for this work that Molina later shared the Nobel Prize in Chemistry.

Between 1974 and 2004 he variously held research and teaching posts at University of California, Irvine, the Jet Propulsion Laboratory at Caltech and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), where he held a joint appointment in the Department of Earth Atmospheric and Planetary Sciences and the Department of Chemistry. On July 1, 2004 Molina joined the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at University of California, San Diego and the Center for Atmospheric Sciences at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography.

Molina is a member of the Pontifical Academy of Science, the National Academy of Sciences, the Institute of Medicine and The National College of Mexico. He serves on the boards of several environmental organizations and also sits on a number of scientific committees including the U.S. President's Committee of Advisors in Science and Technology, the Institutional Policy Committee, the Committee on Global Security and Sustainability of the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation and the Mario Molina Center. He also served on the board of trustees for Science Service, now known as Society for Science & the Public, from 1999-2006. He has also received more than thirty honorary degrees and Asteroid 9680 Molina is named in his honor.[11] In 2003 he was one of twenty-two Nobel Laureates who signed the Humanist Manifesto.[12]

Molina and his first wife, Luisa Tan Molina, divorced, and he married his second wife, Guadalupe Álvarez, in February 2006. His only son works as a physician in Boston.[7] Molina was named by U.S. President Barack Obama to form a transition team on environmental issues.
