Biography

Ian Burgess is a Professor at the University of Saskatchewan in the College of Arts and Science, specializing in Chemistry. He holds a Ph.D. from the University of Guelph, obtained in 2003. His research focuses on the physical and chemical properties of molecules at electrified interfaces, employing interfacial electrochemical techniques to elucidate phenomena related to charge transport, molecular organization, and self-assembly. His work particularly emphasizes charge transfer studies at monolayer modified electrodes and characterizes adsorption molecules that stabilize monolayer protected nanoparticles (MPNs). He utilizes both traditional electrochemical techniques such as voltammetry and differential capacity as well as non-traditional methods like scanning probe microscopy and in-situ infrared spectroscopy. Through his research program, he aims to explore and advance the understanding of electrochemical systems and their applications in materials science and nanotechnology.
