One of the key strategic research thrusts of Waterloo is sustainable nanomaterials (SN). In Tam's group, the use and application of SN (e.g. cellulose nanocrystals, cellulose nanofibrils and starch nanoparticles) are being explored. Exciting applications incorporating the use of sustainable nanomaterials in consumer goods, biomedical science, environment, water and energy are being pursued. We collaborate actively with industry and strategic countries (e.g. Singapore and Brazil) in developing innovative solutions that will impact society in a positive way.
We warmly welcome students with NSERC or OGS scholarships and encourage them to join our dynamic group of graduate students and researchers!
