Author: Cosmos Voutsinos
Cosmos Voutsinos background is in engineering. His educational foundation was established at Waterloo, where he earned his Bachelor of Applied Science (BASc), and later at MacMaster, where he received his Master of Engineering (M.Eng). He's had a lifelong affiliation with the Alberta's Association of Professional Engineers and Geoscientists (APEGA) and has been a dedicated member of various Engineering Societies across Ontario, Quebec, and New Brunswick, as well as the Association of Consulting Engineers of Canada.
HIs professional journey revolved around energy conversion technologies and power plants, specifically in nuclear and conventional projects. He held significant roles across the globe, such as System Design and Lead Thermal Engineer in Canada, Vice President of Construction in Taiwan, and Techno-Economics specialist in Belgium. Furthermore, He has contributed to design and manufacturing projects in Korea and China.
His forte lies in "Engineering Dynamics," a field in which he's leveraged computer modelling, small-scale prototyping, and validation of designs to create effective processes and safety systems.
Even after his retirement in 2002, his zeal for understanding the complexities of our environment led him to delve into Climate Dynamics, a self-educational endeavour centred around climate change. This interest eventually led him to the challenge of defining "Energy Infrastructure," a topic he presented at the International Conference of Environmental Science and Engineering (ESE 2016) in Guilin, China. The presentation, "The Clash of Energy Supply and Climate Change – What it takes to build a new Energy Infrastructure," was subsequently published in North America by DES Publications.
Throughout his career, he has published multiple scientific papers that have garnered a total of 96 citations, attesting to his contribution to the field of engineering and climate science.
Tackling the energy transition a colossal challenge for Canada
