Working with this supervisor

The research program focuses on designing materials for the next generation of cold-climate applications, including low-cost hydrogen production, Power-to-X technologies, electrochemical energy conversion, sustainable fuels, and advanced catalytic materials such as single-atom and defect-engineered systems. The research integrates materials design with system-level energy applications, including electrolyzers, fuel cells, solar fuels, and renewable energy storage technologies, to support decarbonization and energy resilience in Canadian cold-climate conditions.

Applicants with backgrounds in Chemical Engineering, Materials Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or related fields are encouraged to apply.

Experience with electrochemistry, catalyst synthesis, COMSOL Multiphysics, MATLAB, Python, machine learning/data analysis, renewable energy systems, or advanced characterization techniques is considered an asset but is not mandatory.
