Full biography
An Associate Professor of Chemistry in the Faculty of Science, Liliana Trevani, PhD conducts research abroad, developing new experimental methods in differential electrochemical mass spectrometry and completing two manuscripts. She returned to Ontario Tech University after spending eight months splitting her time between Argentina’s National Atomic Energy Commission and the Universidad de Buenos Aires. She joined in 2009 as an Assistant Professor and was appointed Undergraduate Program Director of Chemistry in 2014 for a one-year term, before being named to her current role. Previously, she was a Senior Research Associate in the Graduate Faculty of Chemistry at the University of Guelph. Her research career has spanned more than three decades and as many continents. She moved to Canada from Buenos Aires, Argentina in 2000, after serving as a Research Associate in Inorganic Chemistry, and Analytical and Physical Chemistry in the Faculty of Natural Sciences at the Universidad de Buenos Aires. Her first teaching and research role came as a Visiting Scientist appointment in Physical and Theoretical Chemistry at the University of Oxford in England. Previously, she spent eight years in industrial research and development focused on applied electrochemistry in the areas of corrosion protective coatings and electrochemical sensors, as well as textile materials at the Instituto Nacional de Tecnologia in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Initially drawn to geochemistry and field work, her lab experiences helped guide her towards pure chemistry. She obtained her bachelor’s equivalent in Chemistry and her doctorate in Physical Chemistry at the Universidad de Buenos Aires, and completed a postdoctoral in Physical Chemistry at Memorial University in Newfoundland.
