Welcome to Natalie, Grady and Ahmed!

Exciting times in the SolarSpec group as we welcome a summer cohort! Natalie will be joining us for a short stay in between her Big White and UK commitments. Grady will be doing a CHEM488 directed studies course over the summer. Ahmed is coming from McMaster University as a NSERC USRA and RISE scholar. Welcome […]

Welcome Cristian!

The group is very happy to welcome Cristian for the summer! Cristian has done a bit of volounteering work during the past semester and will now be joining us as a Work-study summer student. Cristian will be working on developping a standard photoreactor for the group and explore photocatalytic chemical transformations.

Funding news!

Robert was awarded his NSERC Discovery Grant! This grant supplies key operational funding over the next 5 years and will play a large part in enabling thorough science that answers pressing questions.
