2021 Rising Stars: Fraser Waldie
Technical Service Specialist, Consumer and Industrial Films, Nova Chemicals Corp.
Fraser Waldie became interested in polymer and material science in high school, thanks to some excellent science teachers. It was in high school that I realized my passion for chemistry and can distinctly recall a demonstration for producing nylon rope, which got me truly fascinated in polymer and material science, he said. This passion was carried through to my university career, where I majored in the honors chemistry program for my B.Sc. degree and would later pursue my M.Sc. in the area of inorganic chemistry and catalysis.
