Curtis P. Berlinguette is a professor of chemistry.[1] and chemical and biological engineering[2] at the University of British Columbia. He is also a CIFAR Program Co-Director,[3] a principal investigator at the Stewart Blusson Quantum Matter Institute,[4] and a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada.[5][6] His academic research group designs and builds electrochemical reactors for:
- Reactive CO2 capture[7] (featured in the Globe and Mail[8]);
- Electro-catalytic hydrogenation;[9] and
- Low-temperature nuclear fusion[10] (featured in Nature News,[11] National Geographic,[12] Financial Times,[13] Interesting Engineering,[14] T-Net[15]).
His research group also builds self-driving laboratories that combine flexible automation and artificial intelligence[16][17] (featured in Science Magazine.[18])
Berlinguette is the CEO and Co-Founder of Miru Smart Technologies, a company that commercializes electrochromic windows.[19][20]
Education and career[edit]
Berlinguette completed his BSc at the University of Alberta in 2000, and his PhD in inorganic chemistry at Texas A&M University in 2004 under the supervision of Professor Kim R. Dunbar.[21][22] He then completed his postdoctoral studies at Harvard University under Professor Richard H. Holm.[23] Berlinguette started his independent career in the Department of Chemistry and The Institute for Sustainable Energy, Environment & Economy at the University of Calgary in 2006 before moving his program to the University of British Columbia in 2013.[24]
University spin-off companies[edit]
Prof. Berlinguette co-founded Miru Smart Technologies,[25] a venture-backed university spin-off commercializing electrochromic windows.
