Welcome!

Who we are: We're a synthetic inorganic chemistry group at the University of Victoria on the Pacific coast of Canada in beautiful Victoria, British Columbia!

What we believe: We believe that chemistry of the main group elements can provide fundamental insights and practical solutions to accelerate our transition to a Net-Zero emissions future. We further believe that everyone willing to work hard and learn should have an opportunity to participate in the science driving this transition, irrespective of their identity or perceived limitations, necessitating an inclusive and welcoming training environment.

What we do: We explore i) new types of inorganic polymers/materials for applications in green technologies, and ii) new concepts in metal coordination chemistry for making chemical synthesis more efficient.
Our most exciting discoveries emerge from systematic, curiosity-driven, fundamental studies of main group molecules and macromolecules, often with collaborators who bring complementary applied experience.

Vacancies: We are currently hiring undergraduate students (e.g. for a Research course, Honours chemistry degree, summer research) and graduate students (for MSc or PhD degrees) interested in experimental inorganic chemistry. We also have vacancies for international graduate students (for PhD) who have completed or are in the process of completing a research and thesis-based MSc degree with significant demonstrated hands-on inorganic/organometallic synthesis experience.
