young innovator
Industrial and computational mathematician Keith Promislow leads an interdisciplinary team that received a $2.1 million Canada Foundation for Innovation grant to support a fuel cell dynamics infrastructure facility, to be housed in SFU's department of mathematics.
Promislow won the 2002 Young Innovator award from the Science Council of British Columbia for advancing research at world-renowned Ballard Power Systems by developing mathematical models to quickly predict the performance of their fuel cells under a variety of operating conditions. In the past, Ballard had relied on lengthy trial and error experiments to make such predictions.
Burnaby-based Ballard is the world leader in the design of fuel cells that convert hydrogen and oxygen into electricity for automotive and stationary power applications.
