• Developed a backlog model for the forecasting of waste storage and processing logistics to improve space efficiency at the Western Waste Management Facility, resulting in an expected cost savings of 30$ million due to decreased future building requirements• Wrote and implemented multiple VBA codes to improve efficiency of raw data collection and processing for input into the System Planning model, Decommissioning Cost Estimates model and Fuelling Machine Discharge Scheduling • Prepared System and Campus Plan Reports which forecasts the number of buildings required for future waste and used fuel storage from 3 Nuclear Generation Stations • Created an End State Determination Report for the Heavy Water System by gathering information from multiple reference documents and communicating with stakeholders• Lead and organized company-wide triweekly lunch and learn sessions (Toastmasters) to build public speaking and communication skills as well as to foster a stronger sense of community

• Researched the effect of sterilization of plasma deposited layers on cell adhesion for biomedical applications, characterizing the produced surface and analyzing the stability and presence of functional groups post-sterilization • Published The Effect of Sterilization Procedures on the Physiochemical Properties and Performance of Plasma Polymer Films in the Plasma Processes and Polymers Journal as a second author

• Performed regular expression pattern matching to format publicly available books from on-line libraries to be added to Glose - a next-generation social reading platform where people can discover, read, highlight thousands of books, and engage with other readers as well as authors through shared annotations

• Collaborated with graduate teaching assistants in restructuring tutorial sessions of a 300-level fluid mechanics course in order to cultivate a creative and thought provoking environment for 100 students• Supervised and mentored students during tutorial sessions in a peer-to-peer setting to encourage critical thinking and develop problem-solving skills

• Assisted in the research of a PhD student in bioresource engineering at McGill’s Macdonald campus. Focused on optimizing the extraction and purification of hydrocolloids from seed mucilage for industrial purposes.• Worked with a variety of different seeds and extraction and purification methods, which required centrifugation and spray and freeze drying of the mucilage to produce hydrocolloidal gum
