Rene

René Boeré

Professor Emeritus
Office: SA8444
(403) 329-2045
boere@uleth.ca

René was hired in 1988. His degrees are PhD Univ. of Western Ontario, 1984 and BSc Dalhousie Univ., 1979.  R±ð²Ôé&²Ô²ú²õ±è;became a Full Professor in 2000 and served as Dept Chair from 2003 – 2013. He is an Inorganic Chemist with a special interest in Materials Science applications of novel compounds. His background is in synthetic inorganic chemistry, with a strong understanding of structure-determination techniques including vibrational, ESR and multi-nuclear NMR spectroscopy, single-crystal X-ray diffraction and solution electrochemistry. 

R±ð²Ôé&²Ô²ú²õ±è; has held a Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council (NSERC Canada) operating grant continuously for the past thirty-three years. He has over thirty-five years’ experience in lecturing undergraduates at all levels, including general chemistry, inorganic chemistry from second year to fourth year, as well as several courses in other disciplines (organic, physical, analytical and solid-state chemistry.) 

René was the main catalyst for a new Science building and his efforts were rewarded when the new Science building was built. The new building’s teaching and research labs are a huge improvement over the old labs, which had original the fume hoods in them.

In 2024 Dr. Boeré earned Speaker Research Award

Though René is retired from instructing he is still conducting research at the Ãâ·Ñ¸£Àû×ÊÔ´ÔÚÏß¿´Æ¬ of Lethbridge.
