Every day, researchers at the Faculty of Sciences and Engineering are actively advancing sustainable development through their work on more energy-efficient and greener mineralurgical processes, more efficient turbine and wind turbine prototypes, and cleaner chemical processes such as catalysis and electroactive polymer manufacturing.
Energy and sustainable development
Developing greener technologies and processes
Targeting energy efficiency
The catalysts we’ve developed are simple organic molecules containing abundant and non-toxic elements.

Resources for researchers and student researchers
The Vice Dean of Research
The mission of the faculty’s Office of the Vice Dean of Research is to familiarize faculty members with research funding program requirements. Its research development advisors can assist researchers in preparing funding applications and drafting research contracts. They can also provide information and guidance on technology transfer opportunities.
Le Lab en ligne
The Faculty of Sciences and Engineering’s LAB en ligne is a virtual space that showcases and profiles the faculty’s research equipment and facilities. The service provides graduate students, faculty members, and industry professionals with access to state-of-the-art equipment at reasonable cost along with opportunities for collaboration.
