Prof. Morin obtained her MSc in Analytical Chemistry from the University of Guelph in 1991, she then attended the University of Ottawa and graduate with a Ph.D. in Physical Chemistry under the guidance of the late Prof. B.E. Conway. In 1996 she received a prestigious Alexander von Humboldt Foundation fellowship, Germany, and worked for one year in the Department of Surface Science and Catalysis, University of Ulm, Germany. She then accepted a Research Associate position at the Molecular Interfaces Program at the Steacie Institute for Molecular Sciences, National Research Council, Ottawa. In 1999, She moved to Toronto to start her academic position at York where she held the Tier 2 CRC in Surface and Interfacial Electrochemistry from 2001 to 2011. Morin’s research interest is in thin-film and nanostructured materials for applications in sensors, as electrocatalysts and photocatalysts. Her multidisciplinary research contributed to IP and/or R&D in areas such as corrosion, vaccine products, and luminescent materials (15 reports submitted to partners). Her research interests include materials science, electrochemistry, surface, and interfacial sciences. thin film research and the preparation and characterization of novel nanomaterials and devices for photochemical, electrochemical, and sensor applications. She has raised $3.5M+ of research funds, trained 98+ HQP, and published 61+ papers. Her multidisciplinary research contributed to IP and/or R&D in areas such as corrosion, vaccine products, and luminescent materials. She is affiliated with the graduate programs (Ph.D. and M.Sc.) in Chemistry as well as Physics.
