Geology Graduate Wins Governor General's Academic Gold Medal
Dr. Bishop is being recognized for his outstanding doctoral research on critical mineral extraction from coal waste and subsurface brines in Western Canada. With a remarkable 92% average and six published articles—including two in Environmental Science & Technology—his academic excellence speaks for itself.
Beyond the lab, Brendan also founded the Department of Earth Sciences’ student chapter of the Society for Economic Geologists. His supervisor called him “a once in a career PhD student.”
Next, Brendan will be starting his Postdoctoral Fellowship - "Excited to begin my Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC) funded Postdoctoral Fellowship at the Jackson School of Geosciences at The University of Texas at Austin."
Great job, Brendan and wishing you future success!
