About Us
The ECS Montreal Student Chapter was founded in September 2010 to promote communication and collaboration between electrochemistry and material science students from Montreal and the surrounding areas.
The ECS Montreal Student Symposium is a yearly event that attracts over a hundred students, professors, researchers and industrial scientists.
Thomas Boulanger - UdeM
President
Thomas's research focuses on energy storage, specifically the subject of li-ion batteries by looking at the electrolyte and Li-Metal interface.
He enjoys outdoor activities such as hiking, sailing and camping.
Executive Committee
Scott Prins - McGill
Vice President
Scott's research is on bioelectronics, and he specifically works on designing portable enzymatic sensors.
He's passionate about creating more accessible diagnostic tools. He has a podcast : Alzeimer's AMiNDR.
Alizée Debiais - UdeM
Secretary
Alizée uses computational chemistry and electrochemical analysis to develop organic molecules to employ in redox flow batteries.
Her favorite redox reactions are the ones that create color changes.
Brittany Pelletier - UQAM
Treasurer
Brittany studies state-of-the art lithium-ion batteries, applies advanced analytical techniques at synchroton facilities and collaborates with industry.
She enjoys spending time with her family and listining to true crime podcasts.
Louis Hamelet - UdeM
Education Executive
Louis works on organic redox flow batteries by developing methods for electrochemical and spectroscopic characterization of the degradation of active organic molecules, in situ and ex situ.
He likes ultimate Frisbee, the forest and craft beer brewing.
Imane EN-NAJI - UQAM
Social Executive
Imane's PhD is focusing on semiconductor photoanodes to enhance hydrogen evolution through photoelectrochemical water splitting. When she isn't splitting water molecules, she's belting out tunes even if my friends might call it noise pollution!
Jashanpreet Kaur - McGill
Media Executive
Jashan's work focuses on elucidating the interaction of cupper and aluminium with an organic coating for corrosion prevention.
She loves tulips, playing badminton and taking too many pictures of the sky.
Richie Fong - McGill
External Affairs
Richie's research explores new sustainable cathode materials for use in Li-ion batteries.
Richies used to play tuba.
Naïla Corcoran - UdeS
Internal Affairs
Naïla's research is on electrochemical aptamer-based biosensors : she's developing ultra-fast electrochemical methods to study DNA aptamer folding kinetics.
She loves staying active through sports, enjoying outdoor adventures, and baking delicious treats.
Supportive members
A-Jay A. Khanmohamed - UdeM
Admin
A-Jay's research is about organic cathode materials for energy storage devices using x-ray diffraction in operando.
He's a bit everywhere, but present at the same time... You can probably find him listening to music or enjoying outdoors.
Christophe Guérin - UdeM
Website manager
Christophe's research is on Gold-Supported lipid membrane : redox-trigged vesicle fusion to obtain supported lipid bilayers. The objective is to study their thermotropic properties.
He likes to play guitar.
