Welcome to the Baker Lab at Queen’s University

The chemical industry is one of the biggest contributors to climate change, with a two-fold dependence on fossil fuels: both as starting materials and as an energy source for chemical reactions. Our research program works to reduce fossil fuel usage, by developing carbon-neutral and carbon-negative chemical processes, using renewable electricity as an energy source and sustainable materials as building blocks. We integrate electrochemical reaction optimization with catalyst and reactor design, supported by detailed analysis of mechanistic pathways, to decrease waste and better prepare these processes for industrial implementation. Ultimately, the research in the Baker lab will reduce the carbon footprint of the chemical industry while maintaining production of valuable chemical goods.

Queen’s/RMC Poster Day 2024

On October 10 2024, the Queen’s and RMC Chemical Engineering departments held a poster day for graduate and undergraduate students to present their research. Baker
