Dr. Ghandi received his PhD in experimental chemical physics with a focus on radiation chemistry from Simon Fraser University in 2002. He did his postdoctoral research at the University of British Columbia and TRIUMF National Laboratory on materials science. He has also been invited visiting scientist at Rutherford Appleton Laboratory in the UK before joining Mount Allison University in 2005. Dr. Ghandi received his early tenure in 2009 and he was a member of the Chemistry and Biochemistry department as well as a member of the physics department of Mount Allison University until July 2018. In July 2018, he joined the Department of Chemistry at the University of Guelph as an associate professor. Dr Ghandi has published more than 100 refereed papers, book chapters and patents that span a broad range of interests in nuclear energy, physical chemistry, analytical chemistry, green chemistry, nanotechnology, materials science, and radiation physics and chemistry. The results of this research have implications for the development of new antimicrobial material, sensors, and energy technologies, increasing the lifetime of nuclear reactors as well as material to reduce radiation therapy side effects. He has also been one of the founding members of the Atlantic Green Centre and was the president of the International Society of Muon Spectroscopy. He was the VP of America (North, Central and South America) of the International Society for Muon Spectroscopy before that. He is the National Representative of the Physical and Biophysical Chemistry Division of IUPAC, the Co-Chair of the Environment Waste Management and Decommissioning Division of the Canadian Nuclear Society and the VP of the Physical, Theoretical and Computational Chemistry Division of the Chemical Institute of Canada. In 2009, he received the NBIF Breakthru (first prize) for opening inventive frontiers in the fields of polymers, nanotechnology, and green chemistry. In 2010 he received the KEK Visiting Scientist Fellowship award for distinguished contributions to applications of muon science in studies of green technologies. In the same year, he received the Paul Paré Excellence Award for outstanding research without compromising excellence in teaching and service. He received this award again in 2013. In 2008 he received the leadership Mount Allison award for his contributions in training undergraduate research students at Mount Allison University (from both chemistry and physics programs). In the same year, he received the Marjorie Young Bell Award for his research on green chemistry. In 2017/2018 he received the Jean d'Alembert chair from the University of Paris/ Saclay in France. Ghandi was selected as one of the members of the five-year plan steering committee for TRIUMF national lab (selected by the director of TRIUMF) (2012-2015). He was the chair-elect of the TRIUMF national lab user group which is an elected position, by international users of TRIUMF and the chair of the user group selection committee for a new director of TRIUMF. He has been the Chair of many sessions and invited, and keynote speaker at many conferences on nuclear chemistry, radiation chemistry, green chemistry, materials science, polymer science and muon science. He has been on the International advising board of the central laser facility in the UK. He has been on the review panels of different international particle accelerator proposal evaluation committees over the last few years. He was invited by CIC as a delegate of the Canadian Chemical Society, Environmentally Friendly and Sustainable Chemistry to China (2008). He has organized international conferences, and symposia and serves often as a grant and paper reviewer and he is on the editorial board of several international journals.
