• Conducted feasibility studies in order to identify opportunities for increased production, reduction or reuse of energy, and pinpointed ways of improving the overall efficiency and product quality of the mill’s operations.• Facilitated and developed HAZOP/PHA/OSHA technical reports for clients.• Developed complex simulations capable of producing heat and material balances.• Detailed simulation/model results in the form of Process Design Reports.• Prepared and modified P&IDs, P&Cs, and PFDs based on the results from heat and material balances.• Performed quality checks on peers' work to assure overall quality before work was sent out to clients.• Prepared proposals for projects and budgeted low to medium-sized projects.• Worked on large multi-disciplinary teams occasionally, located in multiple offices.• Researched and Designed equipment based on state/country-specific guidelines and rules.• Developed a macro using VBA capable of producing an outline of Control Narratives based on a project's Instrumentation Index, wrote a technical memo allowing other disciplines to understand and utilize the macro.• Developed custom simulation module parts in order to model a Recovery Boiler, based on literature documents and first principles.• Researched literature documents and chemical information when there were knowledge gaps in projects.• Wrote Technical SR&ED documents in order to apply for Tax Credits for research-based projects.

• Created FluidFLow3 simulations which could measure the required pump sizes based on pressure loss of upstream equipment, and measured pressure losses within sulphuric acid pipe lines• Created Mass and Energy balances (PFD's) for sulphuric acid plants • Designed a program in order to calculate the amount of condensate which will form within a Heat Exchanger during the initial startup of a sulphuric acid plant• Developed MathCad simulations in order to calculate temperature and mass profiles within an absorption tower and presented the results to a group of senior process engineers• Communicated directly with manufactures to estimate equipment and material costs for company projects

• Experimentally measured the flow resistance of water through pulp fibers• Used data recording system to measure dewatering speeds with an ultrasonic sensors• Measured pulp quality including tensile, stiffness and stretch• Produced hand sheets(Laboratory paper samples) with functional fibers and recycled fibers• Investigated the effect of mechanical treatment on paper performance• Results are reported in a scientific paper to be submitted to the scientific journal-cellulose

• Learned VBA independently and was able to pull text files off of a fiber property analyzer and search for specific information to be removed and placed into to excel.• Measured pulps quality including: conductivity, pH, tensile, tear, freeness, brightness and burst.• Helped run a pilot plant sized refinery to conduct energy specific pulp tests.• Performed chemical analysis using an ICP.• Performed routine strength audits at the Prince George pulp mills.• Helped perform trials and audits at Prince George mills to develop a new grade of pulp.

- Designed mechanical components for a novel Micro-Fibrillated Cellulose(MFC) production system including the rotor, shaft, fluidizer using SolidWorks 2011 and worked with the machine shop to build the system- Learned Labview independently and used it to integrate a computer, National Instruments DAQ with the MFC system sensors (pressure, temperature, torque and speed)- Designed, built and tested a flow loop made from PVC pipe and a positive displacement pump.- Created MFC using the system and experimentally determined the impact of MFC addition on never dried, Northern Bleached Softwood Kraft (NBSK) pulp using conventional pulp quality analysis.- Measured the resulting pulp quality including: tensile, tear, bulk, freeness, fiber length, brightness.
