Sasha Omanovic

Sasha Omanovic is Professor of Chemical Engineering at McGill University. He obtained the "dipl.ing.” (Chemical Engineering) and “Dr.Sc.” (Chemistry) degrees at the University of Zagreb (Croatia), followed by a two-year post-doctoral position at Acadia University in Nova Scotia, where he studied the interaction of proteins with charged electrode surfaces. He joined McGill University in 2001, where he established the “Electrochemistry/Corrosion Laboratory”. His research focuses on the development of electrodes for applications in the areas of wastewater treatment, energy conversion/storage, and on the investigation of corrosion processes and development of methods for corrosion protection, and functionalization of electrically-conducting surfaces for specific applications. His laboratory has published more than 150 refereed papers and contributed with more than 160 conference presentations. Since joining McGill, he has supervised more than 170 researchers (PDFs, research scientists, graduate and undergraduate-research students).
