Rodney Smith hired at the University of Waterloo

Congratulations to Dr. Rodney Smith who has been hired at an Assistant Professor at the University of Waterloo. Rodney completed his Ph.D. at Memorial University with Peter Pickup in 2012. He then completed postdoctoral fellowships at the University of Calgary and the University of British Columbia with Curtis Berlinguette. He is currently an Alexander von Humboldt Postdoctoral Fellow at Freie Universität Berlin with Dr. Holger Dau.

Rodney’s research involves the study of electrocatalysts for use in sustainable energy storage systems. His research examines the chemistry of electrode surfaces, measures electron transfer kinetics and probes electrochemical reaction dynamics in an effort to guide the design and fabrication of solid-state electrocatalysts.

He will begin his position as Assistant Professor in the Department of Chemistry in May 2017.
