Area of Study / Keywords

Materials Chemistry Energy Generation and Storage Solar cells Batteries Dental Materials NMR DNP NMR


Research

We strive to enhance fundamental and applied knowledge in material science, concentrating on energy and health-related chemical challenges in soft and condensed solids. Our research frequently employs inorganic materials, physical, and analytical chemistry techniques to synthesize and characterize innovative metal halide, oxide, and chalcogenide materials. These materials have potential applications in optoelectronics, solid-state ionic conduction, anodes, and as insulating materials for dental or bone implants. Additionally, we are interested in crystalline nanomaterials and altering their structure through ion substitution or ligand functionalization.

Our laboratory hosts the Chemistry Centres' Magnetic Resonance (C2MR) facility for solids, featuring five advanced solid-state NMR spectrometers. It is also home to Western Canada's sole high-field DNP NMR system, where we develop polarization techniques that provide unique insights into atomic-level structures in nanomaterials, surfaces, interfaces, as well as porous and disordered solids.

Graduate student openings are available for individuals keen on materials, inorganic solid-state chemistry, characterization, experimental and theoretical methods, and solid-state NMR spectroscopy.  Feel free to email to arrange a Zoom meeting to discuss opportunities in undergraduate and graduate research.



Teaching

Group members receive exceptional training in chemical synthesis (solvent, hydrothermal, mechanochemical, high temperature, nano, etc.)  and characterization of insulating and semiconducting solids including X-ray diffraction (powder and single crystal), SEM/TEM, EDX, diffuse reflectance and quantum chemical computations. No prior knowledge or expertise in solid-state and DNP NMR is required, although welcomed. Each new team member is trained in solid-state NMR with all characterization facilities supported by expert staff.

Announcements

Currently looking for new graduate students to join Fall 2025.
