Waterloo, Ontario

Worked under Dr. Nasser Abukhdeir.Developed non-conformal meshing techniques (diffuse interface) to speed up multiphysics simulations. The project focused on automated methods that can be integrated into preexisting FEniCS solvers.

Cambridge, Massachusetts

Designed and trained convolutional neural networks for object recognition. Further bench-marked these neural networks to aid the design of custom hardware accelerators for real time object detection in videos.

Nepean, Ontario

Redesigned product calibration processes and materials handling protocols to improve product accuracy and decrease manufacturing costs. Also constructed finite-element thermal models of key product components to improve the product's temperature control system and for manufacturing proof-of-concepts and product accuracy estimations.

Oakville, Ontario

Trained neural networks to model heat exchanger performance and replace CFD simulations for initial design proof-of-concepts, then wrote best practice guides for future neural network development and optimization. Also developed procedures for experimentally characterizing heat exchanger thermal properties and supervised the handover of this testing to the production lab.

Oakville, Ontario

Built prototype IGBT and battery coolers and modified build procedures to improve speed and decrease the number of defective parts. Also worked with suppliers to source parts for a prototype run.

Master Of Applied Science - Masc, Chemical Engineering, 95.50

Developed OpenCMP, an open-source computational multiphysics package.

Bachelor Of Applied Science - Basc, Nanotechnology Engineering, 96.28
