Clean electricity is energy that is both sustainable and non-polluting. Such sources of energy are ideal for mitigating climate change. For the full benefit of clean energy generation to be realized, sustainable practices must be integrated into the development of clean technologies. This requires using materials that are both renewable and recyclable. These can indeed […]

La valorisation des déchets alimentaires constitue un enjeu majeur pour le développement de procédés circulaires et durables. Parmi les voies prometteuses, la récupération du calcium et du phosphore issus de résidus tels que les coquilles d’œufs, les arêtes ou les os de poisson permet la synthèse d’hydroxyapatite (Ca10(PO4)6(OH)2), un matériau reconnu pour ses propriétés structurales […]

Achieving net-zero targets in developing countries requires deploying renewable energy in off-grid areas where grid expansion is impractical. High capital costs for renewable energy and hydrogen storage hinder adoption, with many systems being inefficient due to poor sizing or curtailment. This research focuses on developing a hybrid AI and optimization framework to enhance the sizing […]

Solid-state hydrogen storage in MgH2 has strong potential due to its high energy density, but it is limited by technical constraints. Dehydrogenation requires high temperatures (300–400?°C), which are unsuitable for many applications, and the hydrogen release kinetics remain slow because of the low diffusion within the crystalline structure. To address these challenges, our project adopts […]

As part of this project, the intern will work in the laboratories of Paola Ceroni and Garry Hanan with the goal of producing hydrogen from solar energy. To achieve this, a ruthenium metal complex will be synthesized and characterized in order to obtain a catalyst. Experiments and research will be conducted in both laboratories to […]

This research project aims to advance the development of reliable, interpretable, and causally grounded Artificial Intelligence (AI) methods by integrating neuro-symbolic reasoning into Large Language Models (LLMs), with a specific application to energy storage systems such as lithium-ion battery systems. While modern LLMs demonstrate impressive linguistic capabilities, they remain limited in their ability to reason […]

This project aims to make power grids smarter and more efficient by using a type of artificial intelligence called Graph Neural Networks along with Deep Reinforcement Learning. Just like a GPS finds the best route for a car, our system will find the optimal paths for electricity to travel, especially from clean but unpredictable sources […]

This project explores how to make clean hydrogen production more accessible and affordable by designing a Mobile Hydrogen Production Unit (MHPU) that runs on renewable energy such as solar or wind. The unit will be small, portable, and capable of generating hydrogen on-site for use in remote, off-grid, or temporary locations that currently depend on […]

This project is a transformative energy technology that reimagines how electricity is delivered, expanding access to affordable power while supporting the global clean energy transition. The project is dedicated to empowering communities, particularly in underserved regions, with solutions that advance both energy access and equity.

Our Mitacs application is part of a collaborative program of study to develop the chemistry of molecular solar-thermal energy storage (MOST) materials. For the project, we aim to establish Cu(I) ions as components of MOST materials. The Lescop group (France) has longstanding expertise developing inorganic materials based on Cu(I) wherein the metal ions direct electron […]
