Winning the New Frontiers in Research Fund (NFRF)

I have been awarded the inaugural NFRF, which carries research funding of > $228K CAD. Very grateful to the Tri-Agency (SSHRC, NSERC, CIHR) for this generous grant. Synopsis of my research proposal:

Prof. Julian Chan, Department of Chemistry, Faculty of Science

"Probing Novel Molecular Designs for Organic Excitonic Superconductors"

The discovery of new materials that conduct electricity without resistance — and thus without power loss — would revolutionize the way we transmit, store and use energy. Dr. Julian Chan and his team are exploring novel chemistries to create exotic organic molecular structures that exhibit superconductivity at high temperatures.
