Jocelyn Doucet

Jocelyn Doucet is an Associate Professor in the Department of Chemical Engineering at Polytechnique Montréal since 2011. He is a co-founder and CEO of Pyrowave, a company developing advanced high-power microwave technology for resource-efficient industrial processes.

• Education:
  • Ph.D., Polytechnique Montréal, 2008
  • B.Eng., Polytechnique Montréal, 2004

His research focuses on microwave-based chemical recycling, process electrification, and granular mixing dynamics. He has pioneered technologies for microwave pyrolysis and radioactive particle tracking in industrial reactors, with applications in circular economy and sustainable manufacturing.

Recent publications demonstrate expertise in AI-enhanced particle tracking (2025), microwave heating sustainability (2020), and biomimetic waste recycling (2019). His work bridges chemical engineering, environmental technology, and industrial innovation.

He has supervised two doctoral theses, including Model-Free RPT for Hydrodynamic Characterization (Mirakhori, 2024) and Microwave Polystyrene Depolymerization (Leclerc, 2018).

Pyrowave, the company he co-founded in 2014, has developed the world's most advanced high-power microwave platform for industrial resource efficiency.
