Annick Anctil
Dr. Annick Anctil is an Associate Professor of Civil and Environmental engineering (75%) and AgBio Research (25%), where she leads research on anticipatory sustainability assessment. She uses proactive sustainability assessment to reduce the environmental and cost impact of new technologies. Dr. Anctil has extensive experience with life-cycle assessment (LCA) and techno-economic assessment (TEA). The core of her research is evaluating the environmental impact of photovoltaics and battery technologies, particularly the effect of mining and recycling materials for energy applications. She uses life cycle assessment to identify critical steps in current technologies and guide greener alternatives by combining theoretical and experimental environmental assessment. She is the assistant director of the DOE-MSU Industrial Assessment Center and received an NSF CAREER award in 2021 to work on the impact of the solar photovoltaics industry in the US. She participated in the NSF International Standard on Sustainability Leadership for Photovoltaics Module and the EPEAT Ultra-low carbon solar modules criteria based on her expertise in manufacturing. She has received funding from various sources, including NSF, USDA, DOE, Ford, MI Environment Great Lakes and Energy (EGLE) and various industrial partners. She is on the Michigan Institute for Energy Innovation (IEI) board of directors and on the Scientific Committee for Critical and Strategic Materials for the Quebec Government (Canada).
