Profile bio
About Akhil R.
I am currently a Masters candidate for Materials Engineering at the University of British Columbia. My research is focused on the susceptibility of pipeline steels to Carbon Dioxide Stress Corrosion Cracking for the Carbon Capture Transportation industry. I have prior research and lab testing experience in Cathodic Protection, Disbondment, Coating Evaluation and Hydrogen Permeation. Outside of research my areas of interest and knowledge range from infrastructure project development and community building, having started elementary school renovation and water-saving projects, to metallurgical failure analysis, and materials testing. Central to my story is community-based project development, be it in university through the founding of UBC Sustaingineering's Rainwater Harvesting Team, designing water management frameworks for Tiny Homes in British Columbia or in my father's hometown in South India, self-starting Light A Lamp, a non-profit collaborating with rural communities on structural improvements, sanitation, water and electricity for school infrastructure. For me, building sustainable communities is passionate work and has pushed me to adapt and strengthen my stakeholder relations amid complex cultural sensitivities. Happy to meet for a coffee or Zoom call and chat about rural community development, engineering, and building teams etc. What's your story?
