Academic Training

General Academic & Research Interests

Philip Jessop teaches both at the graduate and undergraduate level in the Department of Chemistry. He was cross-appointed to the School of Environmental Studies in 2006 and has been active as one of the Undergraduate Academic Advisors for ENSC-Chemistry students. Philip's research focuses on developing chemical processes that are environmentally sustainable by reducing pollutants and toxic releases. A recent research project culminated in the development of an environmentally-friendly process to separate water from crude oil, which has the potential to decrease the energy use in oil production, lower the cost of cleanup of oil-contaminated sites, and reduce water use in Canada's tar sands oil production.
