Clean Technologies Research Institute (CTRI)

Welcome to the Clean Technologies Research Institute (CTRI)

CTRI, formerly The Institute for Research in Materials, was created in June 2017 to advance clean technologies research at Dalhousie and beyond.

Electric vehicles for the future

Mechanical Engineering professor Lukas Swan and his students in the Renewable Energy Storage Lab at Dalhousie University.

Historic partnership

Jeff Dahn, world leading battery researcher and Dalhousie Professor of Physics and Chemistry, signs a partnership agreement with JB Straubel, CTO of Tesla Inc. It's Tesla's first industry partnership with a university.

CTRI Research Day
