Dr. Marc Dupuis is a consultant specialised in the applications of mathematical modelling for the
aluminium industry since 1994, the year when he founded his own consulting company GeniSim Inc
(www.genisim.com). Before that, he graduated with a Ph.D. in chemical engineering from Laval
University in Quebec City in 1984, and then worked ten years as a research engineer for Alcan
International. His main research interests are the development of mathematical models of the Hall-
Héroult cell dealing with the thermo-electric, thermo-mechanic, electro-magnetic and hydrodynamic
aspects of the problem. He was also involved in the design of experimental high amperage cells and
the retrofit of many existing cell technologies.
