Biography

Dr. Jeremy Gauthier is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Chemistry at the University of Guelph. He obtained his Bachelor of Science (Honors) and Master of Science from Memorial University of Newfoundland. His research focuses on the development of polymeric sensors and the analysis of novel agricultural compounds using analytical chemistry and mass spectrometry techniques. He earned his Ph.D. in Analytical Environmental Chemistry from the University of Toronto, where he worked under the supervision of Professor Scott Mabury. Following this, he completed a postdoctoral fellowship at the University of Toronto with Professor Andre Simpson, where he implemented new Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) techniques for environmental chemistry applications. Dr. Gauthier's laboratory is dedicated to developing new analytical approaches to investigate anthropogenic compounds in environmental and biological systems. His key research areas include the development and application of NMR-based methodologies to understand the extent of anthropogenic fluorine contamination in various samples. The Gauthier lab emphasizes the use of NMR spectroscopy as a powerful analytical tool for analyzing fluorinated compounds, which often undergo complex transformations that yield new, unidentified products. Through innovative pulse sequence development, his research aims to improve the sensitivity of NMR instruments and apply these techniques to complex analytical questions in chemistry.
