PhD Oral Defense of Shrikalaa Kannan, Bioresource Engineering

Climate change has become one of the major challenges of our time that needs immediate action. Global warming resulting in rising sea levels is now recognized as a grave danger not only to humans but to life in general. Small islands are now going under the sea, the climate is becoming more extreme with every passing year. One of the prime contributors to climate change is the burning of fossil fuels that result in carbon emissions, which in turn results in global warming. This is forcing us to rethink our energy security strategy along with carbon management. In addition to this, there is a growing demand for energy while the fossil fuel reserves are depleting at an alarming rate posing a threat to energy security. In this scenario, developing alternate renewable sources of energy that are clean and environmental friendly is indispensable to achieve several global goals as dictated by the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) framed by the United Nations.


Everyone in the McGill community is welcome to attend a PhD oral defense. Please join us in celebrating the accomplishments of our PhD candidates.
