The 2027 winner of the E. W. R. Steacie Award is:
Jon Abbatt, MCIC
University of Toronto
Jon Abbatt received his PhD from Harvard University in 1990, did postdoctoral work at MIT, and then taught at the University of Chicago. Since 2000, he has been a faculty member in the Department of Chemistry at the University of Toronto where he conducts research in atmospheric and environmental chemistry, with a particular focus on laboratory and field studies of multiphase and aerosol chemistry. Past research topics have included stratosphere ozone, cloud formation, and Arctic chemistry. His current research addresses the chemical processes that occur with wildfire emissions to the atmosphere and the chemistry that occurs in the indoor environment, especially as it relates to the chemical transformations of organic contaminants. He uses a suite of analytical techniques including both online and offline mass spectrometry. Jon is a fellow of the American Geophysical Union and the Royal Society of Canada.
