Biography

Michel Laurent Trudeau has been a faculty member at Concordia University with over 40 years of experience in the synthesis, physical understanding, and characterization of metastable nanostructured materials. His significant contributions began with research on quantum effects in low temperature metallic glasses, as well as magnetic transport and superconductivity. At Hydro-Quebec Research Institute, he studied the structural and physical properties of various energy-related metastable and nanostructured materials, with applications ranging from hydrogen storage to electrolysis, and Li-ion batteries to nuclear reactor alloys. He has developed Hydro-Quebec's Materials Characterization Laboratory, focusing on the high atomic resolution characterization of nanostructures. Throughout his career, he has co-authored over 200 peer-reviewed papers, which have been cited over 9,400 times, and has contributed to four patents. His leadership in the field is showcased by co-chairing six international meetings concerning nanostructured materials. Trudeau was elected a fellow of the American Physical Society in 2008, became a fellow of the Institute of Physics in 2019, and in 2023, he was awarded the Canadian Association of Physicist Medal for Outstanding Achievement in Industrial Applied Physics.
