Our research centers on electrochemical processes as applied to high temperature and pressure conditions, mathematical modeling of corrosion phenomena, electrochemical synthesis of nano-crystalline materials, aqueous electrometallurgy, hydrometallurgy, and fuel cells.

The Corrosion group can be found on the University of British Columbia’s Vancouver campus in the Frank Forward Building. 

Graduate Studies

Corrosion is a multidisciplinary field. Great opportunities are open to enthusiastic students with an education background in Materials, Physics, Chemistry, and other engineering fields. Graduate students can register for either a PhD or an MASc degree in the Department of Materials Engineering

Undergraduate Studies 

Students may apply for Co-op or research assistant positions in corrosion projects.
