Jenny Wong (Principal Investigator)
I'm an analytical environmental chemist interested in understanding the role and impact of chemical processes occurring in the atmosphere. I obtained my BSc, MSc, and PhD chemistry degrees at the University of Toronto (undergraduate research in the Jockusch, Donaldson, and Abbatt groups; graduate research in the Abbatt group) before moving (still not far from home!) to do my post-doctoral research in the Weber and Nenes groups at Georgia Institute of Technology. I joined the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at Mount Allison University in Aug. 2019.
​
Teaching ('22-'23): CHEM2411 (Analytical I), CHEM3421 (Analytical II), CHEM3521 (Environmental Chem.), CHEM4991 (Analytical Environmental Chem.)

Isaac McCardle
icmaccardle[ at ]mta.ca
Isaac is an undergraduate student going into his third year at Mount Allison University. He is pursuing a BSc with intended honours in Biochemistry and minors in Chemistry and International Politics. His project involves collecting national air pollution data and identifying trends associated with various emissions and the acid-catalyzed dissolution of metals in aerosols.
Spencer Scott

Spencer is an undergraduate student going into his third year of study at Mount Allison University. He is pursuing a BSc with intended Honours in biochemistry, and minors in chemistry (?). He is currently working on understanding the reactivity of specific antioxidants with e-cigarette aerosols that leads to reactive oxygen species, using an surrogate lung lining fluid model.
Sam Whidden
Sam is an undergraduate student going into their fourth year at Mount Allison University, pursuing an Honours degree in Chemistry (double minor in Astronomy and Biochemistry). For their honours research project, they are working on characterizing the physiochemical properties aerosols emitted by biomass burning cookstoves.
