Principal investigator
I am an assistant professor of biomedical engineering and chemistry at Dalhousie University since July 2022. I received my Ph. D. in chemical engineering from McGill University in 2017, and completed my postdoctoral studies at University of Toronto and University of Montreal. My research interest is in applied polymer and colloid science. In my research, I tune intermolecular and nanoscale interactions in colloidal and polymeric systems to induce unique and useful material properties in the macroscale. Materials that I design are applicable to a wide range of applications, including osteoarthritis treatment, bleeding control, wound management and antifouling coating.
