Jim A Nicell

Jim A Nicell is a Professor in the Department of Civil Engineering at McGill University. His research focuses on environmental engineering, particularly the development of enzymatic processes for treating recalcitrant pollutants such as industrial contaminants, endocrine disruptors, and pharmaceuticals. He also investigates the fate and biodegradation of xenobiotic chemicals in the environment. Additionally, his work includes green chemistry and engineering applications, aiming to create sustainable alternatives to traditional plasticizers. Nicell has held various administrative roles at McGill University, including Dean of the Faculty of Engineering from 2013 to 2023. He has received several awards, including Fellowships from the Canadian Academy of Engineering and the Canadian Society of Senior Engineers.

Jim A. Nicell is a Professor in the Department of Civil Engineering at McGill University, specializing in environmental biotechnology. His research focuses on the application of enzymes in waste treatment, particularly in the degradation of xenobiotics and the removal of phenolic compounds from wastewater. He explores green chemistry solutions for plasticizer metabolites and their environmental impact, emphasizing sustainable approaches to pollution control. His work also addresses the regulation of odour impacts and the development of biocatalytic systems for industrial and environmental applications. Nicell's research integrates enzyme kinetics, biodegradation processes, and advanced wastewater treatment technologies.
