On The Role of Thermal Storage for Demand Response in Building Clusters
Dr. Ursula Eicker, Concordia University, Canada

Prof. Ursula Eicker is the Canada Excellence Research Chair (CERC) in Smart, Sustainable and Resilient Cities and Communities at Concordia University Montréal. A German physicist, Eicker has held leadership positions at the Stuttgart University of Applied Sciences and its Centre for Sustainable Energy Technologies. She coordinated many international research projects in the fields of building energy efficiency, renewable energy systems and urban scale simulation.

Since June 2019, she leads an ambitious research program to establish transformation strategies toward zero-carbon cities. Around 50 graduate students work on decarbonisation pathways in the domains of the built environment, renewable energy systems, sustainable transport and circular economy. An urban data analysis and modeling framework integrates the multidisciplinary work. The 7 year research program received 10 million CAD government funding and is supported by a further 10 million Dollars by Concordia University.

Professor Ximing Cai is a leading scholar in environmental sustainability assessment with biofuel development. Cai group published the first paper on global marginal land availability assessment for biomass production (Cai et al. 2004; Environ. Sci. and Technology – EST, doi:10.1021/es103338e) and a recent paper on water requirement and availability for biorefinery in the United States (Yang et al. 2022, EST, doi: 10.1021/acs.est.1c07747). Besides resources availability assessment, he has also worked on infrastructure requirement for regional biofuel development (Housh et al. 2014, J. of Infra. Sys. doi:10.1061/(ASCE)IS.1943-555X.0000238). Recently, Cai group has analyzed the stakeholders’ synergy for bioeconomy (Leibensperger, et al. 2021 doi: 10.1016/j.rser.2020.110613) and developed a bioenergy community communication model – an agent-based model simulating the behaviors and interactions among multiple stakeholders including biomass producers, refinery industries, rural communities, government agencies, and NGOs (Yang et al. 2022, Renew. & Sust. En. Rev., doi: 10.1016/j.rser.2022.112745). He served as Section Editor, Biofuel, Current Sustainability/Renewable Energy Reports, 2014. He is elected Fellow of Am. Geo.
