Biography
Ph.D. in Mineral and Energy-Producing Materials at University of Paris, 1983
P.Eng., P.Geo.
Shortly after finishing his doctoral study on Geothermics in University of Paris and “Ecole Normale Superieure de Paris”, Mory was invited to Canada in 1984 to work for British Columbia Hydro and Power Authority (BC Hydro) on the deep geothermal drilling project at Meager Creek (near Whistler, B.C.). He later joined the University of British Columbia, where he is presently an adjunct professor, teaching courses on “energy resources of the ground” and conducting research in geothermal energy resources and systems.
As an international geothermal expert, Mory has participated in exploration and development of several geothermal fields around the world (e.g. Coso in California, Meager Creek in BC, Mt. Sabalan in Iran, and Mt. Labo in the Philippines ). He has also designed and developed medium and low-grade geothermal systems (e.g. 120 kW GHP for a hospital in North Vancouver, B.C and a 4 MW system for a greenhouse in Chilliwack, B.C.).
Mory is one of the pioneers in research on extraction of clean energy from operating and abandoned mines (e.g. conducted a feasibility study on a 4 MW geothermal energy system for Britannia Mine and an assessment study of the Con Mine to provide energy to the City of Yellowknife, North West Territories).
As the chair of the Canadian Geothermal Energy Association (since 1989), Mory has contributed to promotion of geothermal energy in Canada through organizing conferences and workshops. Mory has publishe more thatn 100 papers in scientific journals, proceedings and professional magazines.
Mory is fluent in English, French and his mother tongue (Persian), with working knowledge in Arabic and Spanish. In his spare times, he plays music and writes for children.
