Polytechnique Montréal project – Financing of infrastructure related to an NSERC Industrial Research
Chair
Project leader:
Professor Ludvik Martinu, Full Professor in the Department of Engineering Physics
Subsidy from the CFI: $399,395
Subsidy from the Gouvernement du Québec: $399, 395
The research work conducted by Professor Martinu's team focuses on developing a new generation of clean vacuum-based technologies for the synthesis of coatings and nanostructured systems for their use in various sectors of vital importance toCanada. Thanks to the subsidies from the FCI and the Gouvernement du Québec, the research infrastructure will enable researchers to perform leading-edge investigation on functional coatings and advanced materials in a world-class setting.
