Matthew Ross is an assistant professor in the Department of Physical Sciences at MacEwan University. His multidisciplinary research encompasses areas such as environmental chemistry, analytical chemistry and toxicology, and focuses on understanding the sources, transport and fate of anthropogenic pollutants in the environment. Dr. Ross received his Bachelor of Science degree in biology from Arizona State University, after which he moved to Edmonton to pursue a PhD in environmental and analytical chemistry at the University of Alberta. After the completion of his PhD in 2011, Dr. Ross worked as a post-doctoral fellow in the Department of Laboratory Medicine and Pathology at the University of Alberta.
