• Acquiring and analyzing alluvial channel flow data, precipitation patterns, and past flood events using Markov Chain to generate a model for statistically predicting future conditions for flooding
• Generating 3D models of backwater valves using SolidWorks and CFD simulation through using Flow 3D software to determine critical height of buildup for valve malfunction by predicting buildup amount and location
• In-lab simulation of household greywater and wastewater flow through various backwater valves
• Analyzing sediment buildup on valves by using photogrammetry software to generate DEMs following varying flow conditions (slope/usage)

Guelph, ON

• Independently set up, conducted, and documented transportation of contaminated sediment in alluvial stream
• Painted and applied sediment along inside and outside bank to observe and record effect of location on contaminant transportation downstream

Guelph, ON

• Research and exposure to photogrammetry science and morphology of alluvial riverbeds
• Set up and modelled small scale alluvial riverbed in laboratory flume
• Observed and analyzed the effect of sinuosity and varying flow events on channel morphology
• Applied photogrammetry to track changes in riverbed by defining control points, taking photographs, and organizing and analyzing collected data
• Sieved and generated grain size distributions to analyze sediment movement downstream

Guelph, ON

• Conducted research to reduce or remove odour involved with accelerated chicken carcass composting
• Effective method development to tweak compost recipe and reduce odour while maintaining decomposition rate
• Field testing to measure compost composition as well as composition of emitted gasses
• Lab analysis and data crunching to conclude the most effective compost recipe
• Organizing equipment availability and arranging for adequate supply of deadstock and substrate
