James Kay

Other Projects

James is currently working with Hydron Energy, developing technologies for recoving usable fuel from waste sources, and for helping hard-to-decarbonize sectors meet their energy goals.

James has also collaborated with engineers from aerospace companies such as The Boeing Company, Bombardier, and Bell Helicopters in efforts to reduce the cost of producing aerospace-quality components made from carbon-fiber composite materials without the need for expensive infrastructure such as an autoclave. His research in this area can largely be found in his PhD thesis (see Publications.)

James' other industial projects include:

Spectroscopic chemical analysis systems for the pulp and paper industry.

Controls for 300-ton capacity tow trucks used in the mining industry.

Overhauling air intakes and combustion chambers for Rolls Royce Olympus engines.

Producing new fuel manifolds to convert General Electric LM1500 and LM2500 gas turbine engines from diesel to natural gas.

Dust suppression systems for sulphur handling facilities.

Development of strategies for controlling chips in difficult machining operations.
