INRS welcomes Professor Steeve Rousselot, a recognized expert in electrochemical energy storage. With more than 15 years of experience at the intersection of academic research and industrial innovation, he brings extensive expertise to the development of more efficient and sustainable energy technologies.

Holding a PhD in Energy and Materials Science from INRS, Professor Rousselot has built his career within leading organizations in the battery sector, including Clariant Canada, Université de Montréal, and most recently Ignis Lithium, a company he co-founded and where he served as Director of Research and Development.

His research focuses on advanced battery materials, lithium-ion and all-solid-state batteries, cathode materials, and innovative manufacturing and processing technologies. Author of more than 40 scientific publications, several patents, and a book chapter, he actively ;contributes to advancing knowledge and developing practical solutions to support the energy transition.

At INRS, Professor Rousselot will join the INRS–UQTR Joint Research Unit on Materials and Technologies for the Energy Transition as a regular member. He will also be affiliated with the Eau Terre Environnement Research Centre. In Trois-Rivières, he will join Professor François Allard and Professor Karin Kleiner of the Énergie Matériaux Télécommunications Research Centre, who are already members of the Joint Research Unit.  

His expertise in battery materials, critical minerals, and manufacturing processes will enrich the Unit’s research activities and strengthen collaborations on strategic issues related to electrification and economic decarbonization.
