Biography
Kevin Wilkinson (he/his) received a Ph.D. in Environmental Chemistry at the Institut National de la Recherche Scientifique (Eau) and followed the doctoral studies by a postdoctoral fellowship and a faculty position at the University of Geneva. In 2005, he moved to the University of Montreal, where he is now Professor in environmental chemistry.
His research is aimed at gaining molecular level understanding of contaminant bioavailability and mobility. Wilkinson has established an advanced laboratory for the analysis of colloids and nanoparticles: CACEN-Center for the Analysis and Characterization of Engineered Nanomaterials, which includes SP-ICPMS (magnetic sector and QQQ), SP-TOF-ICPMS, DLS, NTA, analytical ultracentrifugation and fluorescence correlation spectroscopy.
He currently leads a Canadian network on Pollution in Urban Environments (PURE). In 2018, he won the Canadian Institute of Chemistry-Environmental Research Award. He brings over 30 years of experience in contaminant bioavailability and mobility, with more than 250 conference presentations, and 180 plus publications.
