• Trojan Technologies Inc. is an international high technology environmental company. The Company specializes in the application of ultraviolet light for disinfecting drinking water as well as other industrial and.
• Researched the application of ultra-violet LEDs, lamps, and light filters for the treatment of wastewater and drinking water for the aquaculture, food & beverage industries, etc.
• Developed the testing protocol to study the long term effects of intense UV light on band-pass filters for disinfection over an 8 month period, measured absorbance of filters at planned time intervals, and identified.
• Investigated the efficiency of different light-transmitting materials in order to reduce the energy lost during disinfection, demonstrated the improved proficiency of the tested materials and initiated the.
• Trained the team leader, near the end of the internship, with SOPs created for two main projects; the instructions would serve as guidance for future team members.
• Facilitated communication by keeping a daily progress journal, daily minor meetings and weekly major meetings with the team leader, and punctual with initial training sessions received from colleagues.

• Independently researched a microfluidic device capable of assaying drug candidates to investigate cell death pathways (apoptosis and autophagy) toward cancer treatment, mastered the design of two different.
• Practiced and perfected microfluidic techniques such as curing PDMS on microfluidic moulds, assembly of microfluidic layers, and installation of fluid inlets and outlets; ensured leak-free operation of microfluidic.
• Trained in equipment and procedures dealing with aseptic tissue culture of mammalian cell lines, bio-safety cabinet operation, and fixing and dying cells.
• Experienced with wide-field microscopes to image cells in petri dishes and microfluidic devices, and with scanning electron microscopes to image and measure the length of microfluidic mould features.
• Communicated regularly with the supervising professors about direction of the thesis and the planning of future steps.
• Studied the intersection of a broad range of subjects involving microfluidics, optics, and biochemistry

Hamilton, Ontario, Canada

• Supervised the laboratory portion of the Optical Instrumentation course for the practical use of light in wireless optical communication, LED microscope illuminators and spectrometers, evaluated project presentations.
• Lectured students on the use of optical design software (OSLO), evaluated three assignments and provided written feedback, and advised integrating OSLO in the design portion of the student projects.
• Answered students' questions, prepared the laboratory equipment on a weekly basis and purchased the necessary laboratory materials while staying within department budget.

Thunder Bay, Ontario, Canada

• Analyzed the performance of a geothermal closed loop system that was situated in the Northern Ontario region. The first part of the project was focused in studying the viability of integrating a geothermal heat.
• The second part of the project focused on the case study at a site near Musselwhite Mine. By the measurement of ground temperature profiles from the Musselwhite Mine site, and by intensive tests and analysis the team.
