Ned DjilalliActing DirectorNed Djilali studied Aeronautical Engineering at Hatlfield Polytechnic and Imperial College and holds a PhD in Experimental and Computational Fluid Dynamics form UBC. Prior to joining UVic in 1991, he was with the Advanced Aerodynamics Department at Bombardier Inc., where he worked on the design of the Regional Jet. His teaching and research at UVic initially focused on thermofluid science with applications to turbulence, crystal growth of semiconductors, and desalination/water purification. Starting with IESVic in 1994 he initiated an internationally recognized program in fuel cell science and technology and later in sustainable energy systems modeling. His recent interests include large scale integration of renewable energy and water-energy nexus modelling towards the UN SDG’s. Ned previously served as Director of IESVic and of the Pacific Institute for Climate Solutions and on scientific and advisory boards in Canada, Europe and Asia. He is a Thomson-Reuters Highly Cited Researcher, and a Fellow of both the Canadian Academy of Engineering and the Royal Society of Canada. Office: EOW 525 |
