He then spent six years in the Xerox Corporate Research Group developing new processes for composite nanoparticles. The primary focus of his current research is living/controlled radical polymerization in heterogeneous systems, and the design of stimuli-responsive polymer colloids using switchable surfactants. In 2002 he received the Syncrude Canada Innovation Award, presented by Canadian Society for Chemical Engineering (awarded to a resident of Canada who has made a distinguished contribution in the field of chemical engineering). He holds an Ontario Research Chair in Green Chemistry and Engineering.
