Vaughn Mangal is an Associate Professor in the Department of Chemistry at Brock University. His research group explores the molecular properties of dissolved organic matter (DOM) and soil organic matter (SOM), with a keen focus on the relationships between organic matter, metal transport, and uptake by microorganisms. Collaborating with partners across academia, industry, and government, Mangal's work aims to understand the impacts of forest fires, harvesting, permafrost thaw, and agriculture on metal cycling in terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. He specializes in microbial metabolomics, utilizing targeted and untargeted mass spectrometry-based techniques to identify how human activities affect fundamental biogeochemical cycles and their implications for water quality. His notable publications include studies on the molecular associations of dissolved organic matter with inorganic mercury and implications of microbial adaptations to metal stress. Mangal holds a PhD in Environmental Life Sciences from Trent University and has received prestigious fellowships, including the NSERC Postdoctoral Fellowship. He has also mentored several graduate and undergraduate students in his laboratory.
