Alternative Pathways for the Energy Transition
APEX
Climate change is the defining challenge of our century. Responding to it requires rapid, deep, and sustainable decarbonization of the global energy system.
Our group of interdisciplinary engineers is devoted to accelerating the transition to a deeply decarbonized energy system in Canada and across the world.
Our research advances key methods in systems engineering; mechanical design; power systems; machine learning; optimization; process modelling; and quantitative risk and decision analysis. In each of our projects, we develop decarbonization pathways that are not only techno-economically viable, but also socio-politically feasible. We integrate insights from public policy and behavioural science to optimize the design and deployment of engineered energy systems.
We are always seeking highly motivated researchers to join our group. Please reach out once you have read our Research page to better understand the methods we develop and the interdisciplinary perspective we adopt.
