Zainab Almheiri is a postdoctoral researcher in the Department of Civil Engineering at McGill University. She is currently working with Prof. Sarah M. Jordaan on evaluating life cycle assessment and techno-economic analyses of hydrogen and fuel cell technologies for various applications, including transportation and grid storage. Zainab graduated from McGill University in February 2022 and obtained her Ph.D. from the Department of Civil Engineering. She specializes in developing decision-making tools using machine learning to ensure the sustainability of the built environment. In February 2022, she joined the Peter Guo-Hua Fu School of Architecture for a one-year project funded by Hydro-Quebec. In this role, she led a multidisciplinary team consisting of members from computer science, engineering, and architecture. Together, they investigated pathways and proposed solutions to overcome the challenges of enhancing the sustainability and performance of existing buildings across Quebec using intelligent approaches. Her research interests lie at the intersection of machine learning, life cycle assessment, and techno-economic analyses for sustainable buildings and energy systems.

Tana is a recent graduate of McGill University with a Bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering. Throughout her academic journey, she gained extensive experience through three research assistantships, specializing in wastewater treatment, energy analysis, and environmental sustainability. Currently, she is engaged in the development of robust Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) methods, assessing the environmental impacts of energy options in Canada and the U.S. She will soon commence her role as an Engineering Consultant at Hatch Ltd. in Montreal, where she will focus on domains such as mining, energy, and infrastructure.

Sai Jayaraman Ramesh is a McGill university graduate with a Master's degree in Environmental Engineering, from the department of Bioresource Engineering. He obtained his Bachelor’s degree in Chemical Engineering at SSNCE, Anna University, India. His areas of interest include water treatment, renewable energy, and life cycle assessment. He is currently working under Dr. Jordaan and Dr. Heath from the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) on a natural gas emissions analysis project, for the National Petroleum Council of the US. His work involves meta analysis of relevant literature and development of a model for estimating greenhouse gas emissions from the US natural gas supply chain.

Adithya Srikanth is a graduate in Bioresource Engineering from McGill University, with a concentration in Environmental engineering. He worked on his master’s project under Prof. Jordaan on a harmonization approach to assess the potential of forest-based Bioenergy with Carbon Capture and Storage (BECCS) as a carbon-negative technology in Canada. He is currently working on a project for the National Petroleum Council (NPC) of the US, under Prof. Jordaan and Dr. Garvin Heath from the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), on developing a meta-model for greenhouse gas emissions from the US natural gas supply chain.
