Professor | Chemical Engineering
Professor Jeff Gostick is the Azzam-Dullien Professor of Transport in Porous Media and a Professor of Chemical Engineering at the University of Waterloo. His research focuses on understanding and designing electrochemical devices by directly linking electrode microstructure to transport and reaction phenomena at the pore scale. He is internationally recognized for pioneering pore-network and image-based modeling approaches for electrochemical systems. He is the founder and lead developer of the widely used open-source software tools OpenPNM and PoreSpy. He has authored over 110 peer-reviewed journal articles, attracting over 11,000 citations. In recognition of his contributions, he has received numerous honors, including the Canadian Society for Chemical Engineering Emerging Leader Award and the Faculty of Engineering Research Excellence Award.
