Meet the Trainer
Dr. Canan Acar is an esteemed Associate Professor of Thermal Engineering at the Faculty of Engineering Technology, University of Twente. Holding a Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from Ontario Tech University, Dr. Acar pioneered a hybrid photoelectrochemical system that renders heat, electricity, chlorine, hydrogen, and clean water. This remarkable innovation led her Ph.D. thesis to be honored with the Outstanding Doctoral Thesis Award and the Governor-General of Canada’s Gold Medal for Academic Excellence.
Her master’s journey at the Illinois Institute of Technology fostered her expertise in complex metal hydride-based hydrogen storage. Beyond academia, Dr. Acar served as a sustainability consultant in Chicago, diving into energy and waste management projects. With more than 40 international peer-reviewed journal publications and 12 book chapters to her name, Dr. Acar’s scholarly contributions are noteworthy. Her present research orbits around hydrogen production, storage, end-use, and hydrogen integration into novel and existing energy systems. By leveraging the principles of the second law of thermodynamics, she aims to unearth optimal pathways for sustainable hydrogen utilization, shedding light on the future of hydrogen in a sustainable energy matrix.
