プロフィール概要

My primary research goals are directed towards understanding the fundamental properties of nanomaterial, the manufacturing of renewable polymers, and the utilization of bio-based waste for high-value products. The idea is to create a variety of novel technologies that are capable of replacing petroleum-based products currently dominating the market. As a research assistant under the guidance of Dr. David Bressler, I have used advanced characterization methods to study cellulose-based nanomaterials and bio-based composites and polymers. The target of these materials is for smart packaging materials, automotive parts, and biomedical applications. A substantial portion of these works focused on surface characterization and the use of biomaterials in many applications. At the moment, I manage a team of over 15 scientists with focus on the development of renewable and biodegradable polymers and coatings. Additionally, I coordinate externally with funders and provincial agencies to build relationships and seek new initiatives. Ingenuity Lab has recently expanded to supplying technological solutions to interested investors with a specific project focus. Recently, I have been working on a supplier/partner project dealing with developing nano-beads for health solutions. Beyond my research successes (including twelve papers to date – inclusive of a review in Progress in Materials Science and others in preparation) I have been fortunate to be at the forefront of two large leading and growing research teams. During graduate school, I was part of the Biorefining Conversion Network, an initiative that worked to support the provincial bio-industry by facilitating multi-disciplinary industry/academic collaborations structured towards achieving commercialized of novel technologies. Now, being part of Ingenuity Lab and working with some of the best minds in the field of Materials Science and Nanotechnology we are pioneering the development of interdisciplinary products that are targeted to the Health, Agricultural, and Mining sectors. I have been working on the development of advanced materials for the past 6 years, involved with the drafting of successful grants/collaborations with International Companies (Novozymes and Saputo Inc.), Provincial agencies (Alberta Bio Solutions, Alberta Livestock and Meat Agency, and Alberta Innovates Technology Futures), and I am currently mentoring several graduate students, two summer students, and technicians. Also, during my research experience at the U.O.A, it has been a privilege to work with such a multi-ethnic and culture work team. The variety of cultures can be a challenge, but it is one I am always eager to learn about and forge good relationships into progress.
