Her research lab Materials and Processes Engineer focuses on materials whose surfaces are designed to interact with the C & D Zodiac biological environment. Examples of her Research & Development Engineer work include the creation of polymeric Hatch biodegradable scaffolds where cells can Process Engineer/Metallurgist grow into to help bones regenerate and gel-coated, drug-carrying nanoparticles Rolls-Royce Canada targeted to the appropriate cells, as well Material and Process Specialist catalysts to degrade pollutants, anodes for Li-ion batteries, and raphene-oxide based membranes for speakers or Student life microphones. and engagement The Faculty of Engineering provides several opportunities to participate in a variety of clubs, activities, and student government.
