Robert is currently a NSERC post-doctoral fellow in the department of Biology at the University of À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ under Dr. Mark Servos and Norman Zhou in Mechanical Engineering. Robert completed his PhD degree in 2017 in the Mechanical and Mechatronics Engineering department of À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ dealing with multifunctional applications of titanium dioxide nanomaterials in water treatment processes. Robert’s main research area focuses on the use of catalytic nanomaterials for UV-based advanced oxidation process (AOP) treatment of emerging contaminants such as microcystins from blue-green algae and endocrine disrupting compounds derived from consumer products. Robert is currently also developing a startup, WaterPuris, that seeks to treat wastewater from food and beverage manufacturers.
