Welcome to the
Herbert Group website! E. Herbert
We are a synthetic inorganic chemistry research group based in the Department of Chemistry and affiliated with the Manitoba Institute for Materials (MIM) at the University of Manitoba in Winnipeg, Canada. We focus on using organometallic and inorganic chemistry, electrochemistry and polymer science to tackle problems in clean energy and environmental remediation, including aqueous organometallic/inorganic chemistry, small molecule activation including carbon dioxide reduction and utilization, and water treatment.
For more information, please check out our site or get in touch.

Oscar and Michael
did a fantastic job presenting their summer work at
the Undergraduate Summer Research Poster Session! Good
job guys!
Congratulations to
Pat on successfully defending his MSc as well! Not so
much on nearly taking out his eye with the champagne
cork ;) Pat is off to Europe to "find himself" -
hopefully he finds his way back before starting his
next step in the US!
Congratulations to
Peter on successfully defending his MSc thesis! Pete
will start Medical School at the University of
Manitoba in Fall 2017 and we wish him all the best on
his new journey to become a "real" doctor! :)
