Metals play a vital role in our modern day society, but their tendency to corrode compromises their structural integrity, safety, and function. The Gateman group tackles the issues in understanding corrosion by using a multiscale electrochemical approach to obtain a full picture of how metals degrade. We are an interdisciplinary and diverse research team that combines expertise in analytical chemistry, electrochemistry, surface science, materials chemistry, and metallurgy to gain insight on corrosion initiation, propagation, and termination mechanisms.
Located in the Department of Chemistry at Western University in London, Ontario, we work in collaboration with Western’s leading-edge research facilities, including the nano fabrication facilities and microscopy capabilities at Nanofab, and the surface analytical instrumentation at Surface Science Western (SSW).
Code of Guidance
Code of Guidance
The Gateman Research Group promotes a safe, welcoming, and inclusive research environment. We aim to include equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) principles throughout all aspects of our team. This is achievable by being thoughtful, respectful, and reflective during active involvement in the group. Specifically, we aim for:
Respect: All individuals, regardless of their age, gender identity, race, sexual orientation, religion, culture, academic record, personal background, disability status, economic status, or mental health status, shall be treated with equal respect and recognition.
Professionalism: All members of the group are expected to conduct themselves with honesty, integrity, accountability, objectivity, and respectfulness to others.
Active Involvement: We encourage collaboration amongst the team and make space for equal participation during weekly group discussions for all members. Everyone has an equal opportunity to lead the research group meeting discussions.
The Gateman Research Group has compiled a more detailed living document that contains the group’s full code of guidance and information on additional resources. All new members of our group will be encouraged to contribute to the code of guidance for a positive, efficient, and fun research environment!

Land Appreciation
Land Appreciation
Deshkan Ziibi (renamed the Thames River by the settlers).
Library and Archives Canada, item 2834136.
At Western University, we acknowledge that we are located on the traditional lands of the Anishinaabek, Haudenosaunee, Lūnaapéewak,and Attawandaron peoples, on lands connected with the London Township and Sombra Treaties of 1796 and the Dish with One Spoon Covenant Wampum. We respect the longstanding relationships that Indigenous Nations have to this land, as they are the original caretakers. We acknowledge historical and ongoing injustices that Indigenous Peoples endure in Canada, and we accept responsibility to contribute toward revealing and correcting miseducation as well as renewing respectful relationships with Indigenous communities through our teaching, research and community service.
