Assistant Professor
PhD University of Western Ontario
My research interests revolve around the development of modern synthetic methods (ex. C-H activation, photoredox reactions, radical processes) and the application of these methods toward the synthesis of highly sought after bioactive natural products (ex. alkaloids, terpenes, and polyketides).
Assistant Professor
PhD University of Manitoba
Assistant Professor
PhD McMaster University
The identities of most environmental toxicants and their role in causing chronic disease are unknown. Our research aims to bridge this gap through the development and application of novel nontargeted mass spectrometry techniques and sophisticated computational tools.
Associate Professor
PhD Simon Fraser University
Research in the Katz group focus on using porous materials with emphasis on hypothesis-based research towards modern day challenges in chemical storage, chemical separations, and catalysis (to name a few).
Professor
PhD University of Sussex
We research environmentally-friendly chemical processes including catalysis, transformations of biomass and carbon dioxide, and green polymers. Students develop multidisciplinary chemistry skills.
Professor
PhD University of British Columbia
We synthesize homogeneous catalysts containing earth-abundant metals for transformations of carbon dioxide, synthesis of green polymers, and applications in carbon-carbon and carbon-heteroatom bond-forming reactions.
Professor
PhD Cornell University
Multiscale materials with applications from optoelectronic sensors, to antifouling coatings and tissue scaffolds; hybrid scanning probe techniques applied to biological tissue imaging and analysis.
Professor | Department Head
PhD University of Alberta
My research interests are mainly in the area of asymmetric organic synthesis, asymmetric organocatalysis and metal-based catalysis, natural product synthesis, diversity oriented synthesis and medicinal chemistry.
Assistant Professor
PhD Memorial University
Assistant Professor
PhD University of Georgia
Canada Research Chair in Chemistry of the Ocean and Atmosphere
Research focuses on the biogeochemistry of organic matter in the world’s oceans. Application of novel experimental approaches and use combinations of analytical tools to better understand carbon cycling in marine systems.
Assistant Professor
PhD Western
We develop new ionic liquids and plastic crystal substrates with embedded nanoparticles for use as soft probes for high resolution electrochemical (bio)sensing and imaging. We use scanning electrochemical microscopy (SECM) for kinetic, thermodynamic, and mechanistic analysis employing both solid solution electrodes and immiscible liquid-liquid interfaces.
Assistant Professor
Associate Professor
PhD York University
Our research focuses on solar energy conversion to fuels using molecular based artificial photosynthetic devices. The success of creating such devices requires a fundamental understanding of excited states through structure/electronic structure relationships. A variety of static and time-resolved laser spectroscopic methods.
Professor
PhD University of Alberta
Design and synthesis of redox-active pi-conjugated molecules and functionalized nanocarbon materials for application in advanced optoelectronic materials and devices.
