Professor Michael Pope joined the University of Waterloo in 2014 from Vorbeck Materials Corporation where he worked on the development of graphene-based products for improved Li-S batteries, high strength polymer fibers, and conductive inks. During his PhD work at Princeton University he became an expert on the production and processing of functionalized graphene generated via the graphite oxide route. He has developed an electrochemical system based on large-area graphene monolayers to investigate charging mechanisms in supercapacitors and batteries, apparent electrocatalytic effects in porous electrode systems and has developed several solution-based approaches to build improved graphene-based nanocomposites from a bottom-up perspective.
PhD, Chemical Engineering and Materials Engineering, Princeton University, 2013
MA, Chemical Engineering, Princeton University, 2010
BEng & Biosci, Chemical Engineering and Bioengineering, McMaster University, 2008

The University of Waterloo acknowledges that much of our work takes place on the traditional territory of the Neutral, Anishinaabeg and Haudenosaunee peoples. Our main campus is situated on the Haldimand Tract, the land granted to the Six Nations that includes six miles on each side of the Grand River. Our active work toward reconciliation takes place across our campuses through research, learning, teaching, and community building, and is co-ordinated within the Office of Indigenous Relations.
