Current research and/or projects
Biography:
I obtained my doctoral degree in chemistry from University of Western Ontario in 2007 and worked with the Environment and Corrosion team at the NOVA Chemicals Research and Technology Centre as a corrosion scientist with focuses on corrosion issues related to gas/oil pipelines from 2007 to 2013. I joined CMAT in 2013 as a corrosion scientist with a research focus on pipeline integrity.
