PhD (University of British Columbia)
BSc (Acadia University)
Douglas College Faculty Member since May 2018.
Janet's PhD thesis focussed on further understanding photocatalyst excited states and the effect of excited state lifetime on the rate of product formation. Photocatalysts drive reactions using light as an energy source, and they have recently become a mainstay of the pharmaceutical industry. Janet has engaged in outreach projects and believes that outreach is an essential tool for educating and connecting with learners in and outside the classroom. She works with colleagues at Douglas College on initiatives that foster diversity and increase accessibility of chemistry and other science-based fields. She is currently working on projects that intertwine her favourite interests: chemistry, culture and food.
