Adya Karthikeyan joined the Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering at the University of Ottawa in September 2023. His research vision focuses on democratizing surface engineering materials at an industrial scale to enhance mass, momentum, and energy transport while reducing the carbon footprint of the manufacturing sector. Karthikeyan developed expertise in surface engineering, energy transport, and biodegradable polymers during his PhD at McGill University and further honed his skills through a postdoctoral fellowship at Polytechnique Montréal. His expertise is backed by eight years of industrial experience, including five years as a commissioning and operation specialist at a nuclear power plant before pursuing a PhD, and later as a materials expert in a global managerial position at Saint-Gobain. He leads the Surface Engineering Live Sustainably (SELS) lab.
