Biography

He is awarded PhD in from McGill University in the 1993, followed by a Bachelor’s Degree, BSc with Honours from the University of Toronto in 1978. He has extended his valuable service as a Professor in McMaster University and has been a recipient of many award and grants. Currently, he is working as a Professor for McMaster University. His international experience includes various programs, contributions and participation in different countries for diverse fields of study. His research interests as a Professor reflect in his wide range of publications in various national and international journals. He is the Frederic Stanley Kipping Awardee for Organosilicon Chemistry, managed by the ACS, in 2016. He has been a visiting professor at 6 different universities (National University of Ireland, Galway, Ireland; Adelaide, Australia; Lyon, France; Bordeaux, France; Toulouse, France and Amsterdam, The Netherlands).

Research Interest

Silicon-derived compounds, particularly silicones and silica, are known for their surface activity. The research projects includes concepts from synthetic chemistry into biological systems that are in need of new experimental approaches. Much of the current interest is concentrated on developing molecules that can control interfaces, particularly silicones, which are broadly used in a variety of biomaterial applications including wound dressings, and implantable devices.
