New CRC Chair - Professor Jeremy Rawson

The Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry welcomes its newest member - Jeremy Rawson - who takes the post of Canada Research Chair in Inorganic and Molecular Materials. Prof. Rawson comes to us from Cambridge University, where he was a Senior Lecturer. One of his inspirations for applying for this position at Windsor was Prof. Dennis Tuck, a senior inorganic chemist in our department who passed away in 2003. To read more about this, click here.
