报告人：Professor Ajay Kumar Dalai   Ph.D., P.Eng.

Associate Dean, Research and Partnerships

Professor and Canada Research Chair in Bioenergy and

Environmentally Friendly Chemical Processing

Dr. Dalai’s remarkable success in research is highly recognized and generously supported through various provincial, federal, and industry funding agencies, including Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, Saskatchewan Canola Development Commission, the Saskatchewan Mustard Development Commission, Syncrude Canada, Imperial Oil Ltd., Petro-Canada Ltd., Natural Resources Canada, the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada, Saskatchewan Ministry of Agriculture, Canada Foundation for Innovation, SaskPower and SaskEnergy, the National Research Council, and Nova Chemicals Ltd. In 2001, he was awarded a Tier 2 Canada Research Chair in Bioenergy and Environmentally Friendly Chemical Processing and Tier 1 in 2009. His research focus is the novel catalyst development for gas to liquid (GTL) technologies, biodiesel production and applications, hydrogen/syngas production from waste materials, hydroprocessing of heavy gas oil, value-added products from biomass, and dry reforming of methane to produce high quality syngas.

Dr. Dalai has published over 190 research papers in international journals and over 40 papers in conference proceedings. His groundbreaking research in environmentally friendly processing and the conversion of biomass to bio-energy have made him highly sought after as a guest lecturer/speaker at many National and International conferences, Universities, and discussion forums as an expert panel member. His expertise and strategic initiatives in bio-economy have earned him several national and international awards, including the McMaster University’s Brockhouse Institute for Materials Research Distinguished Speaker Award, the Indian Chemical Engineering Congress NEERI Distinguished Speaker Award, the Institute of Chemical Technology’s Mumbai Professor R.A. Rajadhyaksha Memorial Lecture Series Award, the Professor Mann Lecture Series Award, the Kentucky Colonel Award, the Syncrude Owl Award, and the Japanese Society for the Promotion of Science Fellowship. Dr. Dalai is an active board member, reviewer, and guest editor for several international journals. He is honoured as a Fellow of the Engineering Institute of Canada, a life member of the Indian Institute of Engineers, the Indian Catalysis Society, the American Institute of Chemical Engineers, and an active member of the American Chemical Society, the Chemical Institute of Canada, and the Canadian Catalysis Society.
