Session organizer
Dr. Savadogo is professor of Chemical Engineering at Polytechnique Montréal in Canada, researching new materials for energy and electrochemistry.
Oumarou Savadogo is a Full Professor in Material Science at École Polytechnique de Montréal. He earned a Science Doctorate in Physical Sciences (1985) at Institute of Materials Sciences at Caen National University in France and a post-doctoral fellow at Laboratory of Interfacial Electrochemistry of National Science Research Centre at Bellevue in France (1986-1987) . He joined the Materials Engineering Programme at Ecole Polytechnique de Montréal, Canada as a Senior Scientist (1987-1991) and Professor (since 1992). He is the Founder and the Editor of the Journal:”Journal of New Materials for Electrochemical Systems’’ and of the International Symposium of New Nano-Materials for Electrochemical Systems (www.newmaterials.polymtl.ca). He is also the Founder and Director of the Laboratory of New Materials for Electrochemistry and Energy Materials. His research interests lie in the area of nano-materials identification and development for PEM Fuel Cells, micro bio-fuel cells, solar cells and biomedical applications. He is the author and co-author of more than 130 original papers and 6 patents.
