Meet Jasmine Pradissitto, an artist, scientist, interdisciplinarian, and LIS Fellow who’s breaking boundaries in art and science! In this short interview, Jasmine shares why she’s excited to be part of LIS, and why interdisciplinary thinking is crucial for finding purpose and solving real-world problems.

Jasmine Pradissitto FRSA is an award-winning London-based British artist, scientist, academic, and speaker who has a Ph.D. in physics from UCL and has studied art at Goldsmith’s. A ‘Renaissance Woman’ her critical practice spans painting, sculpture, and technology and she is the only artist in the world licensed to use NOXORBTM, a newly developed ceramic material that absorbs nitrogen dioxide (NOx) pollution from the air. Pradissitto has exhibited worldwide and has installed two pioneering public art projects in London for The Horniman Museum Gardens (winner of Museum of the Year Award 2022) and Camden People’s Theatre with Euston Town, a Mayor of London environmental initiative (PEA AWARD 2021). Her work based on future innovations (and new modes of thinking), cross-fertilised with the traditional, is less about the narrative of our past planetary ingressions and more about our symbiotic adaptation to a post-industrial, anthropogenic world; something she is now exploring as part of her first museum solo show in 2025 with The London Water and Steam Museum.
