This project is geared towards improving lithium battery technology in order to increase the amount of charges it can store, the speed at which the charges are used and recharged, the cost and the overall efficiency of the battery system. In addition, it has been designed to further understand the battery technology and the identify […]

Le candidat à ce stage se joindra au groupe de la professeure Zhang et travaillera sur son projet de production d’hydrogène vert soutenu par ses fonds de la Chaire de recherche en génie Marcelle-Gauvreau et la nouvelle subvention académique du Fonds de recherche du Québec – Nature et technologies (FRQNT). Au cours de ce stage, […]

One promising approach for the advancement of both fuel cells and electrolyzers is the incorporation of anion exchange membranes. These would provide many potential benefits, such as a significantly decrease cost as they do not rely on expensive precious metal catalysts. However, anion exchange membranes still face multiple challenges, one of them being their chemical […]

Without doubt, hydrogen will be a significant component of future worldwide energy supply. The main issue that hampers the use of hydrogen is related to its storage and transportation which currently uses costly high pressure or very low temperature to transport and store hydrogen. Therefore, there is an urgent need to provide a safe, efficient, […]

In many real world problems, the design process involves iterative steps with generation of candidates and evaluation of these generated candidates to evaluate their utility for the relevant task. This evaluation can be done with say expensive wet lab experiments or some computational oracles. We might want to make the best use of both of […]

The intern will be participating in a multifaceted and interdisciplinary project involving a case study on the current commercially avialable low emissions technologies and emerging renewable energy technologies. They will create social media marketing content to spur interest and careers in these sectors by attracting Canada’s brightest young innovators and entrepreneurs. Through partnership with the […]

Cellulose is the most common natural polymer available. The project aims to produce esters from cellulose fibers employing green solvents, such as ionic liquids. Ionic liquids’ properties are tunable by changing the anion and the cation to dissolve simultaneously the cellulose and the esterification agent. The esterification agent is a free fatty acid which can […]

Biological-system-based production of chemicals and fuels (Eg: ethanol, bio-diesel, bio-nylon, etc.) has lesser or no impact on the environment than their conventional, chemical processes But, these biofactories are not evolved to produce industrially important chemicals yet. Hence, the productivity of the desired chemical is low in an isolated biological system. Metabolic engineering modifies the metabolic […]

Greenhouse gas emissions from commercial vehicles are a major contributor to climate change worldwide and need to be reduced to meet net-zero GHG targets. High-efficiency engines will continue to be used in many countries for the foreseeable future; switching the fuel to low-carbon methane blended with renewably generated Hydrogen offers a pathway to low net […]

The placement project will investigate the use of machine learning for modelling and control of an offshore wind powered direct air capture (DAC) system. DAC remove carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere which is injected into deep-sea reservoirs and are a key negative emission technology, which are becoming increasingly vital as a climate change mitigation […]

Micro and minigrids supplied by solar and wind power are an important solution to remote access to electricity. This project is a feasibility study investigating adding a flow battolyser into a microgrid system. When installed in a micro/ minigrid, the flow battolyser supplies metered electricity and hydrogen gas to homes, small businesses, and community buildings […]
