The Engineering Process Intensification and Catalysis (EPIC) laboratory at Polytechnique Montréal combines highly driven and ambitious individuals who are able to work at the research/industry interface as well as to advance fundamental knowledge. Our team includes students, young researchers and professionals with a diverse background in Chemical, Mechanical, Materials, Bioresource and Civil Engineering, as well as in Chemistry, Biochemistry, Physiology and Medicine.

We seek to design sustainable solutions, being these for chemical processes, material synthesis or biomedical applications. We think “outside of the box” and look to innovate while meeting financial contsraints and economies of scales, so as to create success stories out of them.

Our research interests include:

• Lingnin to fuels and chemicals
• Acoustic cavitation
• Drug delivery systems
• Sonocatalysis
• Photocatalysis
• Gas to liquids (GTL) - Power to liquids (PTL)Mechano-acoustics for biomedical applications
• Modelling and optimization of ultrasound reactors
• Metal Organic Frameworks (MOF)
• Microwave reactions
• Extraction of functional molecules
