• Designed and implemented a new approach which successfully confirmed the operation of the much-debated release-return mechanism during olefin metathesis for the second-generation Hoveyda catalyst • Performed standard characterization techniques as well as monitored the progress of reactions using NMR spectroscopy and GC• Collaborated with international researchers to address stereoselectivity challenges in olefin metathesis• Maintained laboratory instruments and equipment including performing regular maintenance and coordinating with vendors for repair when major issues arose• Reported research through national conferences and scientific publications via recognized journals• Supervised and trained students in a wide range of experimental techniques and instruments

London, Canada Area

• Studied the formation of microporous material SAPO-34 by dry gel conversion with use of diethlyamine as a structure directing agent• Prepared products and intermediates of SAPO-34 using both steam-assisted conversion and vapour-phase transport• Characterization techniques performed included powder X-ray diffraction and magic angle spinning solid-state NMR

London, Canada Area

• Examined the kinetic effect of halides on silver oxide films using electrochemical techniques• Determined the effect of varying solution conditions on radiolysis products, including changes in pH, concentration of iron, or the presence of zirconium• Generated radiolysis products using a gamma-cell and completed analysis of the products via GC and UV-vis absorption spectroscopy
