Douglas Dahn

Dr. Dahn’s research focuses on experimental materials science, and instrumentation and measurement technologies. Collaborating with UPEI chemists, he is investigating the properties of materials that may be useful in rechargeable batteries. He also works on an innovative approach to automatically detect and monitor insects, using electrical capacitance.
