Rate My Professor Dongling Ma

Professor Dongling Ma is a full professor at the Institut National de la Recherche Scientifique (INRS) in the Engineering faculty. She joined INRS in 2006 and serves as the scientific head of the Nanomaterials Chemistry and Advanced Optical Characterization Lab at the Énergie Matériaux Télécommunications Research Centre. Professor Ma holds the Canada Research Chair (Tier I) in Advanced Functional Nanocomposites. Her research focuses on the development of novel, highly functional materials and structures at the nanometer scale for applications in energy, environmental, and biomedical fields. Specific areas include the design of high-efficiency, low-cost transition metal and metal oxide nanoparticle catalysts, plasmon-assisted photocatalysis, advanced earth-abundant nanomaterials for photocatalytic water splitting and CO₂ reduction, materials for photocatalytic biomass conversion, and the synthesis, characterization, and biomedical applications of highly luminescent and stable nanoparticles such as near-infrared-emitting quantum dots and multifunctional nanoparticles integrating superparamagnetic and luminescent components.
