Group Leader
Prof. Charles Walsby
Charles Walsby obtained his B.Sc. (Hons) and Ph.D. in the Department of Chemistry at the University of Canterbury in New Zealand. His Ph.D. work was performed under the supervision of Dr. Rod Claridge and involved EPR studies of inorganic crystal systems. In 1999 he took a post-doctoral position with Prof. Brian Hoffman at Northwestern University where he studied metalloproteins using EPR and ENDOR methods. Charles took up a faculty position at Simon Fraser University in 2004, where he is now an Associate Professor in the Department of Chemistry. His current research interests are focused on the development of new metal-based anticancer compounds, using a combination of synthesis, biological studies, and spectroscopy.

Undergraduate Students
Gwen Bui
Gwen worked joined our group as a USRA student in the Summer of 2021. Her research is on medicinal applications of metallocenes. |
Paola Manjarres
Paola was an NSERC USRA student in the Spring of 2021. She worked on novel reactions in ionic liquids. |
Undergraduate positions are available!!! As we recover from the COVID-19 pandemic, there are now spaces for undergraduate volunteers, NSERC USRA holders, and students in CHEM 481, 483, and 484, to join our team.
