Personal information

Biography

I am an Associate Professor in the Department of Materials Engineering, at UBC-Vancouver. I work to understand and develop materials characterisation methods used to understand materials used in transport and energy, typically for structural materials.
I also have interests in equity in STEM, with a focus on 2SLGBTQ+ issues and improvement of our general academic culture.
