Faraz Syed’s Experience

Clean Energy Researcher
University of Waterloo
(Educational Institution; Higher Education industry)
May 2008 — Present (1 year 7 months)
Securing a sustainable energy system is vital for improvement in living conditions and mitigation of the effects of today's volatile "energy economy". My research will focus on studying both the production and consumption of energy (on a large scale) with a "systems modelling" approach. Ultimately, energy research can deliver both short- and long-term strategies for transitioning to a sustainable energy economy.
