Dr. Marc Duchesne
Current research and/or projects
Biography:
I first started working with CanmetENERGY as a graduate student due to my interest in energy technology. I continued working with CanmetENERGY as a Visiting Fellow and now as a Research Scientist. My focus is to develop energy science and technology for the environmental and economic benefit of Canadians.
