Resilient And Clean Energy Systems Online Seminar
January 23, 2026 @ 11:00 am - 12:00 pm
This presentation examines the transition of applied research in artificial intelligence, power systems, and building energy management toward early-stage deployment through the formation of Semitechnic Corp., A startup emerging from research conducted in collaboration with the University of Alberta. The talk outlines how academic methods, including data-driven optimization, edge AI, and intelligent control, are being adapted for practical use in building-scale and distributed energy <a href="http://systems.

Rather than emphasizing completed commercialization outcomes, the presentation focuses on the process of moving from research prototypes to deployable systems. Topics include system architecture design, integration with existing electrical and building automation infrastructure, validation using operational data, and challenges encountered in progressing toward pilot and field deployment. The session concludes with reflections on aligning academic research with real-world constraints related to resilience, electrification, and distributed energy resource <a href="http://integration.
