Jamie J. Noël
Dr. Jamie Noël, now Assistant Professor of Chemistry at The University of Western Ontario, obtained BSc and MSc degrees (Chemistry) from the University of Guelph. He then joined Ontario Hydro, working on corrosion issues arising during nuclear reactor decontamination. Next, he joined Atomic Energy of Canada Ltd., studying corrosion processes of concern in nuclear fuel waste disposal. In parallel, he earned his Ph.D. (Chemistry) through the University of Manitoba, under the supervision of Profs. Hymie Gesser and Dave Shoesmith.
In 1998 he joined The University of Western Ontario as Research Scientist with Profs. Dave Shoesmith and Clara Wren, helping to train students and working on various corrosion research projects. In 2016 he was appointed Assistant Professor. His research group studies corrosion issues in nuclear fuel waste management, automotive parts, additive manufacturing, and oil refining. He leads a large, multi-institutional, interdisciplinary research effort examining the potential interplay between the metallurgy and corrosion properties of proposed nuclear fuel waste containers, the used fuel itself, the surrounding clay and rock, the groundwater, and the microorganisms present in a deep geologic repository for used nuclear fuel, involving 9 research groups from 4 universities.
Dr. Noël is currently an Associate Editor of CORROSION journal, Vice Chair of the Electrochemical Society (ECS) Corrosion Division, Chair of the ECS Education Committee, and instructor of ECS short courses on the Fundamentals of Electrochemistry. He is the recipient of the 2018 R.C. Jacobsen Award of the ECS Canadian Section and winner of the 2003 Lash Miller Award of the ECS Canadian Section.
Research Interests: nuclear fuel waste management, automotive parts, additive manufacturing, oil refining
