My Profile
Background
I am a Masters candidate in Chemical Engineering of the University of Waterloo under the supervision of Dr. Michael Fowler. I received my B.A.Sc. in Chemical Engineering at the University of Waterloo in 2008.
Research @ the Green Energy & Fuel Cell Lab, University of Waterloo
Plug-in hybrids (PHEVs), wind turbines and a host of other clean energy technologies are now close to widespread integration. Coal is on the way out due to its damaging nature. The way we produce and consume energy is about to change on a system-wide level, and will lead to a new, integrated energy system.
This system represents a departure from the status quo and it must be studied to ensure it meets the goals it was meant to achieve: increased energy security and utilization, and reduced cost and environmental impact.
I am currently studying the impact of PHEVs on the electrical grid, and what changes might be required to accomodate incresingly larger fleets of PHEVs in Ontario, Canada.
