The LAMTE is led by Dr. Dominic Groulx as the principal investigator. The research team is
composed of a hard working and dedicated group of young researchers, both at the undergraduate
level and at the graduate level (MASc and PhD); from various background: mechanical, chemical,
nuclear engineering, as well as physics and chemitry.
The alumni who have previously worked at the LAMTE, of which we are extremely proud and thankful for their work and expertise, are now sought after engineers and researchers, all over the world, in the areas of thermal/fluid engineering, renewable and non-renewable energy, building engineering or in general research positions, both private and in academia.
The LAMTE also collaborates with researchers from all over the world, some of those associates, are also presented below.
