The prestigious recognition will be presented to Ms. Champagne at a virtual event in April of this year.
« I am honoured to receive this award from PEO. My research in Environmental Engineering is the result of several years of successful collaborations with various partners at Queen’s University and across Canada,” she says. I would also like to thank the research members, students and postdoctoral fellows in my lab. This award reflects some of their support and enthusiasm. »
Prior to joining the INRS in September of last year, Pascale Champagne was Professor of Civil and Chemical Engineering at Queen’s University and Tier II Canada Research Chair in Bioresource Engineering.
Pascale Champagne has gained international recognition for her research on the development of alternative technologies for water and waste management, and on the development of environmentally sustainable approaches to integrated bioresource management.
Her scientific contributions have made her a world leader in her field. Over the recent years, she distinguished herself for her work on the conversion to fuel of biomass from micro and macroalgae and on the replacement of petroleum-based materials with renewable natural resources.
