Frank is a PhD student in the Neyhouse Research Group at the University of Toronto who joined in September 2025. He has completed his bachelor’s degree in chemical engineering with a minor in nanotechnology in 2023 at McGill University. He has then received his Master of Science in the same institution in 2025 working under Professor Nathalie Tufenkji on microplastics and nanoplastics detection techniques. Working in sustainability and environmental protection has always been something he valued. Thus, following this passion, Frank joined the Neyhouse Research Group under Professor Bertrand Neyhouse to study practical applications of electrochemistry. Specifically, he is working on improving the performance of chlor-alkoxide electrolysis in polyvinyl chloride recycling processes. In his leisure times, Frank very much enjoys beekeeping, hiking, cooking (and eating), volunteering as well as taking time in understanding various cultures to deepen his connection with people.

Grace (she/her) is a chemistry PhD student in the Neyhouse Research Group at the University of Toronto. She joined in April 2026 and is co-supervised with The Taylor Group in Chemistry. Grace grew up in Ann Arbor, Michigan, the same city where she obtained her dual B.S. in Chemistry and Environment & Sustainability at the University of Michigan. During her undergraduate studies at UMich, she researched redox flow batteries as well as electrochemically chlorinated commodity chemicals from PVC recycling waste with Prof. Anne McNeil. Prior to joining the Neyhouse Research Group, Grace worked with Prof. Dwight Seferos at UofT developing energy storage materials. Throughout her PhD she will continue exploring sustainable applications of chemistry, particularly related to electrocatalysis. Outside of the lab, Grace spends her time gardening, baking sourdough bread, advocating for climate solutions, and cuddling her beloved cat Fig.

Jiwon Park (she/her) joined the Neyhouse Research Group in September 2026 as a 4th year undergraduate student. She is currently pursuing her bachelor's degree in chemical engineering with a minor in Sustainable Energy at the University of Toronto. Jiwon is passionate in creating clean energy solutions and is drawn to research that translates chemical engineering principles into practical tools for addressing environmental challenges. During her time with the group, Jiwon will work towards improving the efficiency and scalability of PVC recycling through reactor design and modelling. Outside of academics, she enjoys reading, rock climbing, and exploring new places around the city.  

Karen Qin (she/her) joined the Neyhouse Research Group in September 2026 as a 4th year undergraduate student. She is currently pursuing her BASc in chemical engineering at the University of Toronto. For her fourth-year thesis, Karen will work on modelling vanadium redox flow batteries. In her free time, she enjoys playing piano, skiing, and trying new cafes.
