email LinusLinus Chang has only been at UFV since 2016, but he has already trained a large number of students in research through opportunities provided by his NSERC discovery grant. He has been actively publishing and making presentations involving many of his students from UFV. His area of research interest in inorganic chemistry may in future have a major impact on the development and use of alternate fuels, biocatalysts, and medicinal chemistry.
