Plasmonic catalysis is an emerging technology which holds the promise of utilizing light to facilitate a chemical transformation. Antenna nanoreactor is comprised of a plasmonic core and a transition metal shell in which the plasmonic core can absorb the light and generate the highly energetic electrons (hot electrons) and the transition metal shell receives these […]

Thermal management of power electronic devices in an electric vehicle inverter is a critical factor influencing cost, size, efficiency and reliability of the system. Liquid cooling is a viable option; however, for peak power operation, the existing liquid cooling system must be optimized. A new impinging-jet-based liquid cooling system with enhanced heat transfer was designed […]

This work will address the gaps of previous studies undertaken for the Arctic by developing energy model framework that incorporates uncertainty in prices, technology performance and variations in renewable resources caused by climate change. Expected results of the research might be identifying cost-effective risk hedging strategies that account for multiple and overlapping uncertainties within the […]

L’objectif de ce stage serait de coordonner des ligands multidentates bis(NHC) bis(ylides) à des métaux légers de première rangée pour des applications en catalyse. Idéalement, puisque le cuivre, le cobalt, le fer et le nickel sont tous stables à un état d’oxydation de 2, le même ligand pourrait être utilisé pour chacun d’eux. Ces catalyseurs […]

During this internship, my goal is to create a dinitrogen molecule that fits into the frustrated Lewis pair model. This molecule will be used to replace currently existing polluting fertilizers. To achieve this goal, the internship is divided into three steps: -The first consists of synthesizing a molecule containing N2. -Next, we will try to […]

Dans ce projet de recherche, l’objectif est d’étudier et d’analyser différentes molécules synthétisées afin de découvrir leur réactivité avec le CO2. Le projet se concentrera donc sur la mise en place et la production de ces différentes molécules, dans un premier temps. Par la suite, l’application de ces molécules avec du dioxyde de carbone (CO2) […]

Le programme de recherche dans lequel ce projet s’inscrit porte sur la trajectoire et la gouvernance de la transition énergétique en France. Le programme consiste à analyser la politique de transition énergétique à l’échelle du territoire pour comprendre les enjeux d’un nouveau mix énergétique qui combine des sources renouvelables et est connecté à un réseau […]

I began my research in May 2018 in the MJA lab at Ryerson University with the research topic of porphyrin silanes. The opportunity to work in Dr. Anderson’s research lab at the University of Oxford would allow me to expand my knowledge of porphyrins, as his research focuses on -conjugated porphyrin nanostructures. My project with […]

Sustainable production of biofuel from biomass is the subject of my project at the University of Zaragoza and institute of coal chemistry (CSIC) located in Zaragoza, Spain. The overall objective of the project is design of an efficient biomass-to-biofuel conversion process to reduce emission of carcinogenic compounds into the atmosphere. In this regard, I will […]

Proposed Work- Design Assessment of Latent Heat Storage Systems (LHSS) Integrated with Smart Thermal Grids Latent heat storage is a coherent technique having a potential of integration with real-time applications. The energy is stored in the form of latent heat during melting of phase change material’s (PCM’s). This energy can be utilized during the peak […]

Plastic litter currently accumulates in oceans, causing a ‘plastic soup’. Therefore, the past years many biodegradable plastics were developed and marketed. Most biodegradable plastics after their use end up in organic recycling, where materials are turned into compost and renewable energy (biogas and heat). However, many biodegradable plastics that are claimed to be ‘biodegradable’ are […]

Le projet réalisé dans le cadre de stages Mitacs vise à renforcer et augmenter les connaissances sur la dynamique de l’écoulement traversant les turbines hydrauliques de type Francis de moyenne chute lorsqu’elles sont opérées en régimes hors production (sans charge). Ces conditions d’opération de plus en plus fréquentes et faisant partie intégrante des régimes transitoires, […]
