Our CREATE Students

Meet Our Talented Students


The CREATE-CFS Program brings together a cohort of first-class students from all levels of studies (B.Sc., M.Sc., Ph.D. and postdoctoral fellows) who are striving to make significant advances in the fields of flow chemistry and microfluidics. It emphasizes training mainly at the Ph.D. and M.Sc. levels (a few scholarships are awarded each year to B.Sc. students for summer internships, but no money is allocated to financially support postdoctoral fellows). All trainees are supervised by at least one CREATE member professor at one of the host institutions and are expected to fulfill all departmental requirements for obtaining their degree in chemistry or engineering.

The name and research project of all CREATE students are listed below in alphabetical order and by academic year (they may not necessarily funded in full by the CREATE-CFS program, but they all participate in the various training components of the program).
