Polymer Surface & Interface Group: Research - Graduate Student Opportunities

Polymer Surface & Interface Group

Department of Physics, University of Guelph

studying the physics of polymers, biopolymers & bacterial cells at surfaces & interfaces

Graduate Students

If you are looking for exciting opportunities and challenging projects in an emerging research area, I invite you to consider joining my research group as a graduate student. I have a dynamic, well-funded research group in which students use sophisticated, state-of-the-art equipment to study the physics of polymers, biopolymers and bacterial cells at surfaces. This work involves a lot of different science, such as physics, chemistry and microbiology, and has direct technological application to a wide variety of fields including nanotechnology, optical coatings and drug delivery systems. Graduate student projects are curiosity-driven, with students being encouraged to “follow their nose” if they discover something interesting. Students graduating from my research group receive unique, interdisciplinary training that prepares them for careers in both academia and industry. If you are a highly motivated student who is interested in pursuing leading edge polymer and biopolymer science in an interdisciplinary research environment, there is a place for you in the Polymer Surface and Interface (PSI) Group.
