It is a pleasure to welcome Spencer Thomas in our lab.

Spencer obtained his BSc in Chemistry at the University of Victoria, where he synthesized and electrochemically tested gold nanoparticles as catalysts for zinc-air batteries. This work sparked his interest in green energy research.

He is currently working on the optimization of hydrocarbon-based ionomer binders and improving their ion conductivity in the catalyst layer of PEM fuel cells. 

Outside of school his interests include snowboarding, pool, camping and hiking.
