About

Joel Reid is a Senior Industrial Scientist at the CLS, specializing in powder diffraction for the Industry Services group. His collaboration with fellow scientists of many disciplines ensures a holistic approach to industrial partner’s real-world problems.

Prior to joining the CLS in 2011, Joel held a position as Senior Scientific Editor at the International Centre for Diffraction Data. An engineering physicist by training, he completed his undergraduate and PhD in engineering physics at Queens University. Joel continually searches for potential advancements to elevate the professional experience that he provides on behalf of the Industry Services team. His work with clients often involves identification and quantification of multifaced mixtures and the solving of new structures.

When he is not at the CLS, Joel can be found spending lots of quality time with his wife and son. He contributes to the community of Saskatoon through his volunteer role as the Chair of a refugee organization. In his spare time, Joel enjoys going to the ice to play hockey.
