During his Ph.D. with Prof. Michael Fryzuk at UBC, he investigated the relatively unexplored area of organometallic compounds that contained unpaired electrons. He continued exploring magnetism as a Post-doctoral Fellow at the Bordeaux CNRS Condensed Matter Chemistry Institute with Prof. O. Kahn (the father of Molecular Magnetism), focusing on the synthesis and magnetism of nitroxide-substituted phosphines and their metal complexes. In 1999 he joined SFU-Chemistry, becoming Full Professor in 2009, and Distinguished Professor in 2024. He loves collaborating with colleagues worldwide and accordingly spent sabbatical years as a JSPS Long-term Invited Fellow at Kyushu University in Japan with Prof. Ken Sakai (2007), at the University of Strasbourg with Prof. Jean Weiss (2015) and as an Invited Visiting Professor at University Lyon 1 with Prof. Dominique Luneau (2019).
