Becoming a Golden Hawk means more than just cheering on our (really good) varsity teams – it means being a student who cares about your community, who works hard in the classroom, and who takes advantage of all the learning opportunities that can happen outside the classroom, too.

I received my Ph.D. degree in Chemistry from Brock University in 2011 and my M.Sc. degree in Chemistry from Lomonosov Moscow State University in 2005. I joined the Faculty of Science at Wilfrid Laurier University in the Chemistry and Biochemistry department in 2012 as a postdoctoral research fellow. Since 2013 I have been teaching undergraduate chemistry courses at Wilfrid Laurier University, McMaster University, Trent University, and the University of Guelph.
