Overview
I joined McMaster in July 2012 following post-doctoral work (in the School of Applied and Engineering Physics at Cornell University) on the development of microscale technologies for biological systems. Prior to that I completed my Ph.D. (in the Department of Chemical Engineering at The Pennsylvania State University) on the development of membrane filtration processes for DNA purification. Between my undergraduate and masters degrees I worked in the membrane manufacturing division at ZENON Environmental (now GE Water) on the design and development of hollow-fiber membrane systems for water treatment. In 2014 I was awarded the Young Membrane Scientist Award from the North American Membrane Society (NAMS). I am currently leading a number of dynamic collaborations with various industrial (e.g. Ceapro, Aevitas) and academic partners.
