Professor Adam Duong graduated from the University of Montreal, where he completed a doctorate in organic chemistry. His doctoral dissertation, completed in 2011, involved the design and synthesis of supramolecular 2D and 3D networks. Thereafter, he continued his research at the University of California, Los Angeles and the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory where he concentrated on the synthesis of materials for energy storage. In 2014, he accepted the position of Professor of Physical Chemistry at the Université du Québec à Trois-Rivières. His research interests concern the development of new materials for energy and nanotechnology. His team focuses on the design, synthesis and functionalization of materials for storage and transportation of energy.
