Dr. Lee D. Wilson completed his B.Sc. degree in Chemistry at the University of Winnipeg and his Ph.D. degree at the University of Saskatchewan in Physical Chemistry. He has been a Professor in the Department of Chemistry at the University of Saskatchewan since 2004. After receiving his Ph.D. degree, he went on to do postdoctoral studies as an NSERC Visiting Fellow at the Steacie Institute for Molecular Sciences with the Functional Materials Program (National Research Council of Canada; Ottawa, ON). Dr. Lee D. Wilson has developed a specialization in the field of Chemistry (Physical, Materials, and Environmental) with interests in colloids & interfacial phenomena, macromolecular systems, thermodynamics, spectroscopy, solvation, sorption phenomena, and solution/green chemistry. Dr. Lee D. Wilson has established an internationally recognized research program focused on the chemistry of biopolymers and sustainable materials to understand their structure-function relationships related to sorption phenomena, which are ubiquitous in various physical, and chemical/biological processes. His current research is focused on the modification of biomaterials using green chemistry, characterization of their structure, and physicochemical properties, which serve to address a range of fundamental scientific questions and practical problems relevant to water, food, agriculture, energy security, and environmental sustainability.
