Nadine Borduas-Dedekind, Ph.D.

Nadine Borduas-Dedekind is an atmospheric chemist with a B.Sc. and M.Sc. in organic chemistry. She completed her Ph.D. in 2015 at the University of Toronto, funded by a prestigious Vanier scholarship on the chemical mechanisms of amine pollutants in the atmosphere. She worked as an air quality consultant in South Africa before pursuing an NSERC postdoctoral fellowship at ETH Zurich in Switzerland. In 2018, she was awarded an SNSF Ambizione grant to start her independent career at ETH. In 2021, she moved her group to the University of British Columbia where she has raised over $4M in funding for her research program centered on understanding the fate of large organic molecules in the atmosphere applied to atmospheric ice nucleation, biogeochemistry, and air quality.
