- Developed an innovative ocular drug testing platform using advanced 3D bioprinting techniques, enhancing the precision and reliability of drug efficacy assessments.- Led multiple high-value industrial ocular research collaborations with prominent companies resulting in significant advancements in ocular therapeutics.- Presented research findings at conferences, effectively communicating complex scientific concepts to diverse audiences.- Collaborated with other academics on interdisciplinary research projects, contributing to publications in peer-reviewed journals and at conferences.

- Development of improved methods for testing ocular drug delivery

- Funded and supported by AAFC as part of my graduate research at UW- Majority of work conducted at UW

-Used reservoir simulation software (STARS) to analyze reservoir dewatering techniques-Developed optimal operating practices for dealing with lean reservoir areas-Established new start-up strategies for infill wells through analysis of past start-ups-Created a proposal to trial a new start-up strategy on currently producing wells

- Set up a friction tester to flag high friction (out of spec) steel blanks- Designed a punch used for cutting out disc samples to be friction tested- Modeled the changes of a tank of blank lubricant to determine optimal dumping/addition schedule- Created a tracking system to monitor the thickness and shocklines of parts to predict splits

- Analyzed a chloride management system being considered for the liquor cycle at the mill- Monitored lime kiln for abnormalities using an infrared camera- Performed many lab tests on pulp required for analysis of process efficiency- Calibrated on-line sensors for consistency, lignin content, freeness, COD, and moisture content- Assisted with setup of automated continuous pulp analyser

- Performed laboratory analysis water samples for pH, Eh, EC, alkalinity, ammonia, phosphate, sulfides, and iron- Performed laboratory analysis of rock samples for carbon and sulfur- Constructed and installed equipment and sampling instruments at the Diavik diamond mine in NWT- Handled shipping of various samples from the mine to the main lab in Waterloo- Collected and managed data retrieved telemetrically from in-field sensors- Assisted with the installation of instrumentation into waste rock piles

- Assisted 32 students with performing the labs- Answered questions pertaining to the principles learned in the labs- Marked lab reports (16/week) and proctored final exam
