Robust storage sizing for northern microgrids
Postdoctoral researcher at LIREI. He defended his PhD in electrical engineering at UQTR in 2026: “Développement d'un protocole de négociation considérant l'incertitude des agents résidentiels dans un contexte de gestion transactionnelle”. His postdoctoral work carries that expertise in uncertainty further down the decision chain: the robust sizing and siting of electric and thermal storage in autonomous microgrids in cold climates, where the thermal inertia of the building stock is treated as a storage asset in its own right.
Research project
Energy transition for Canada's many remote communities
Program on microgrids for remote communities and sites: replacing diesel with hybrid renewable systems and storage, reliable even under extreme northern conditions.
