My name is Michael Nguyen. I received my bachelor’s degree from the University of Western Ontario and have decided to continue my graduate studies with the Jamie Noël group. I have had the privilege of being a summer student in the Noël lab group for two summers and also spent a year there to complete my undergraduate capstone project. My research focuses on the kinetics of the conversion of copper oxides to sulfides. When I’m not working on growing oxides, I enjoy going on drives and exploring foods from different cultures.
