Curtis P. Berlinguette is a professor of chemistry.[1] and chemical and biological engineering[2] at the University of British Columbia. He is also a CIFAR Program Co-Director,[3] a principal investigator at the Stewart Blusson Quantum Matter Institute,[4] and a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada.[5][6] His academic research group designs and builds electrochemical reactors for:

  • Reactive CO2 capture[7] (featured in the Globe and Mail[8]);
  • Electro-catalytic hydrogenation;[9] and
  • Low-temperature nuclear fusion[10] (featured in Nature News,[11] National Geographic,[12] Financial Times,[13] Interesting Engineering,[14] T-Net[15]).

His research group also builds self-driving laboratories that combine flexible automation and artificial intelligence
