Advanced Research & Technology Development Team (formerly Sensors Team)- Designed and constructed test rigs to evaluate the performance of horizontal and vertical X-ray Fluorescence analyzers from various suppliers under diverse stress conditions.- Performed Root Cause Analysis (RCA) on defective units from the field, conducting tests to pinpoint system failures.- Collaborated with multiple departments to ensure swift completion of tests, with outcomes facilitating the repair and redeployment of units.- Documented research, theory, engineering blueprints for design and construction of test rigs, which are presented in cross-departmental meetings and additionally serving as reference materials for new engineering co-op students. - Established and implemented communication standards across teams, significantly streamlining the RCA process which enhanced the efficiency of repairing and redeploying units back to the field.

Contributions to rocket: Xenia-1 Xenia-1: Launch Canada 2nd Place Basic Category 10,000 feet (http://www.launchcanada.org/teams)Flight Dynamics- Ran trajectory simulations using RASAero II, OpenRocket and ASTOS to gather data on the rocket's flight path, wet/dry mass, maximum/minimum stability, apogee, max velocity, wet/dry centre of gravity and centre of pressure.- Utilize computational fluid dynamics (CFD) using software such as Ansys to simulate the rocket's air brakes while moving to ensure successful deployment. Recovery- Designed and organized experiments (tensile stress test - MTI-20K) to identify the optimum amount of black powder required to deploy the parachute by separating the nose cone from the fuselage safely.- Carried out testing of the retention pin release mechanism for the drogue chute (TACO Link) ensuring the optimal amount of black powder is used without damaging the recovery bulkhead. Personal Projects- Calculated the theoretical value of the pressure required to shear the nylon screws holding the nose cone in place to reduce the required testings for future rockets of different designs. - Recorded the loudness of sound (dB) produced with different amounts of black powder used during the testing phase of both TACO Link and parachute deployment producing a 'dB vs Time' graph.
