Scientific research for the common good
Charles Despins
Director of Research and Partnerships
Interim Dean of Research

I like to think that the history texts will recount how scientists in the 21st century made massive investments in the public space to counterbalance false news and that, in the end, scientific common sense triumphed.

The team led by this academic and researcher is well known for its expertise in advanced materials and manufacturing.
