Daniel Rickert

Dan received his B.Sc (Hons) in Biochemistry from the University of Waterloo in 2016, and in August 2018, he successfully defended his M.Sc thesis in Chemistry from the University of Waterloo. His thesis was supervised by Prof. Janusz Pawliszyn, and was titled “Development and optimization of coated blade spray – mass spectrometry for bioanalytical and clinical applications”.
His Ph.D. research is supervised by Prof. Janusz Pawliszyn and Prof. Scott Hopkins and is primarily focused on the design, construction, and implementation of an innovative parallel-flow trapped ion mobility device that will be coupled to a mass spectrometer. He is also involved in other research projects that focus on the continued development of ambient mass spectrometry techniques, as well as investigating various analytical applications that employ hybrid ion mobility-mass spectrometry instruments.
