Geoffrey Liu

I was born and raised near Mississauga, ON, and I received my BASc in mechanical engineering from the University of Waterloo in 2023. During my studies, I acquired valuable work experience from internships with companies such as Tesla, Dana Incorporated, and Tigercat Industries in mechanical design. I was introduced to hydrogen fuel cell technology through my fourth-year undergraduate design project, where I worked in a team under guidance of Dr Xianguo Li and liaisons from the National Research Council of Canada (NRC) on the initial design of a hybrid-electric aircraft retrofit to be powered using hydrogen fuel cells. This project won the Green Energy Award by the Department of Mechanical and Mechatronics Engineering (MME). Currently, I am a MASc in the MME department working under the supervision of Dr Xianguo Li at the Fuel Cell and Green Energy Lab (FCGEL) at the University of Waterloo. My research is planned to be on PEMFC catalyst membrane construction.
