معرفی
James D. Wuest is a Full Professor (Professeur titulaire) in the Department of Chemistry at Université de Montréal's Faculty of Arts and Sciences. He holds the Canada Research Chair in Supramolecular Materials and is affiliated with strategic research centers like CCVC (Centre en chimie verte et catalyse) and CQMF (Centre québécois sur les matériaux fonctionnels). His research focuses on molecular tectonics, supramolecular chemistry, and nanoscience, leveraging organic/inorganic synthesis to explore materials science and crystal engineering.
Key academic roles include teaching courses like CHM-2302 Structure et réactivité moléculaire and supervising over 50 graduate students since 1990. Awards include the Prix Urgel-Archambault (2008) and membership in the Royal Society of Canada (1996). Notable grants include NSERC Discovery Grants (since 1994) and strategic initiatives like the $8.8M infrastructure project for molecular materials research (2021).
Research trends emphasize polymorphism screening, mixed-crystal crystallization, and green synthesis of energy materials. Major contributions include designing porous molecular networks and studying fullerene interactions. Collaborations span Quebec’s functional materials community, with interdisciplinary projects in nanotechnology and sustainable chemistry.
- Grants: Over $10M in funding for molecular materials, energy storage, and infrastructure projects.
- Labs/Teams: Lead researcher in the Canada Research Chair program and core member of CCVC/CQMF networks.
