The goal of my research is to develop a set of simple analytical tools which city planners, engineers, and future researchers, can use to predict the long-term growth of a drone delivery system: - where will the warehouses be?- how many drones will be at each warehouse?- how costly to the customer are restrictions on flight route and time?To achieve this, I work with industry experts, keep up-to-date with recent technological, regulatory, and academic progress, and use… Show more The goal of my research is to develop a set of simple analytical tools which city planners, engineers, and future researchers, can use to predict the long-term growth of a drone delivery system: - where will the warehouses be?- how many drones will be at each warehouse?- how costly to the customer are restrictions on flight route and time?To achieve this, I work with industry experts, keep up-to-date with recent technological, regulatory, and academic progress, and use specialty GIS and programming software to build my own predictions and find answers.

ENCI504 is described as "Fundamentals of uncertainty, risk, reliability and decision making in Civil Engineering applications. Probability as a measure of uncertainty based on frequency data, least presumptive methods and use of odds; Bayes' Theorem; known probability distributions and how they apply to civil engineering problems. Advanced topics including applications of extreme value distributions, joint probability distributions and stochastic optimization. Risk as a function of both… Show more ENCI504 is described as "Fundamentals of uncertainty, risk, reliability and decision making in Civil Engineering applications. Probability as a measure of uncertainty based on frequency data, least presumptive methods and use of odds; Bayes' Theorem; known probability distributions and how they apply to civil engineering problems. Advanced topics including applications of extreme value distributions, joint probability distributions and stochastic optimization. Risk as a function of both probability and disutility. Risk analysis through Bayesian Decision Theory."As the principal instructor I delivered all of the lectures, prepared all of the lecture and assessment material, and was responsible for final grades and student performance. I endeavoured to use a variety of civil engineering examples in all of the content delivery, connecting the abstract world of probability and statistics to the practical engineering problems of risk and utility.

Following my positive contributions to the department and course in previous years, I was invited back to fill an unexpected need. I have successfully leveraged my past experience, knowledge of the course, and communication skills to students to integrate myself quickly into the course coordinator role and create a smooth transition for the student experience.

In this course I educated over 350 masters level students in the engineering faculty, covering introductory topics of project management. While delivering this course I managed a team of nine teaching assistants, graded and provided feedback on assignments, and made decision on course structure and delivery.

I served as an academic advisor for the Capstone course in the Department of Civil Engineering. I supervised two groups as the instructor of record. The project topic was the effective integration of fourteen electric buses into Calgary Transit’s bus network via block redesign, in collaboration with engineers from WSP and the Calgary Transit. I oversaw the student group progress and advised on both technical and project management aspects for student success.

The course brings together teams of students, industry partners, and the whole range of academic advisors and their expertise for students to apply their skills to real-world problems over two semesters. Students weave together the variety of technical skills they have developed whilst reinforcing project management, team working, communication, and independent personal management skills. As the capstone coordinator I am responsible for monitoring student progress throughout the term, evaluating team performance towards achieving the course learning objectives, and interfacing between the students, the academic advisors, and the faculty administration for the annual capstone fair.This course is made truly unique by the combination of effort put forth by everyone involved; from the industry advisors who provide interesting problems each year; to the students who make new connections between concepts taught in the breadth of their previous courses and internship experiences.

Thanks to recommendations made by my previous BEAR manager, I secured this responsible role on a tendered bid project where I supervised a 1.8 million pound trunk road upgrade scheme on the A83, near Inverary Scotland. The upgrade consisted of innovative large use of soil nails to remove obstructive rockface and "smooth" the 110 degree bend, as well as complete re-alignment of the road super-elevation, surface, drainage, barriers, and signage. My daily oversight, reporting, and problem solving… Show more Thanks to recommendations made by my previous BEAR manager, I secured this responsible role on a tendered bid project where I supervised a 1.8 million pound trunk road upgrade scheme on the A83, near Inverary Scotland.

On this second internship with BEAR, I again conducted underbridge inspections and abnormal load routing. Bridge inspections included the Cardenden Viaduct on a night shift and the Kelty overpass for rebar corrosion identification. I also used knowledge from my Calgary computer science module to improve the abnormal loads checking procedure via macros.

Perth, United Kingdom

Role involved daily abnormal load analysis across the network to ensure bridge safety against strike and over-loading. Improved my communication skills as I had to use phone, fax, email, and online forms to communicate with the numerous logistic companies owning the loads.Also performed regular site surveys on motorway overbridges, local under-bridges, and the Friarton bridge, all within rigorous road safety protocols. Friarton inspection included use of an underbridge gantry truck to… Show more Role involved daily abnormal load analysis across the network to ensure bridge safety against strike and over-loading.
