Jordan Kaiser is a Ph.D. chemist with deep expertise in polymer synthesis, material characterization, and small molecule synthesis. As a Technical Advisor at Cantor Colburn, he supports patent matters involving complex chemical and materials technologies.
Before joining Cantor Colburn, Jordan was a Manager of Leather Technology at Rawlings Sporting Goods, where he built and led an R&D capability using advanced analytical instrumentation to develop new leather products with tailored material properties and performance. In this role, he also managed the exclusive production process for Major League Baseball leather, supplying enough material to manufacture more than two million baseballs annually.
Prior to that, Jordan was a contract scientist at the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL), where he studied novel covalent adaptable networks for silicone‑based thermosets and thermoplastics using advanced polymer characterization techniques. He also served as a flow‑chemistry unit specialist, synthesizing small molecules and polymers at both small and large scales, and applied artificial intelligence and machine‑learning methods to improve the efficiency of traditional design‑of‑experiments (DOE) processes. His work included exposure to a range of 3D‑printing methods, programming languages, and CAD software.
Jordan earned his Ph.D. in Organic Chemistry from the University of Tennessee–Knoxville, where his research spanned transition‑metal catalyst synthesis, redox catalysis, photochemically influenced olefin polymerizations, and novel 3-D printing methods. His work required extensive expertise in NMR spectroscopy, olefin polymerization methods, and small molecule synthesis using air‑free Schlenk techniques. This work resulted in peer‑reviewed publications and a patent.
He received his B.S. in Chemical Physics from Lewis University, where he conducted research in nanoparticle characterization, filtration, and polishing performance for chemical‑mechanical planarization (CMP) applications in semiconductor manufacturing.
