Waterloo Engineering professor advances UN Sustainable Development Goals in the areas of affordable and clean energy and water.
Working with Canadian and international partners, Dr. David Simakov’s research focuses on the conversion of CO2 into renewable synthetic fuels and sustainable hydrogen generation.
“Building a sustainable future will require developing a portfolio of renewable energy-based technologies that will ultimately allow us to decarbonize our energy, transportation and industrial sectors,” said Simakov, a professor in the Department of Chemical Engineering.
Simakov’s research team involves Waterloo Engineering graduate students working in collaboration with researchers from Technion-Israel Institute of Technology through the Waterloo-Technion cooperation program as well as researchers from the Department of Chemical Engineering at the University of Alberta.
Collaborations in chemical engineering can advance sustainability by integrating the development of advanced materials with reaction engineering, reactor design and process optimization for renewable fuel applications. Simakov’s collaborative research will help further advance innovative solutions to solve complex environmental challenges.
