● Managed powertrain project communicating with equipment suppliers, customer, and internal production team, dealing with component, equipment, and prototype design● Standardized protocol to aid in reporting production capacity of plant● Created database amalgamating similar components from different programs to increase communication between program managers● Worked on projects for OEMs, including: GM, Chevrolet, Nissan, Toyota

Guelph, Ontario

● Managed and improved the sanitation process, resulting in a reduction in labour, while working with the line operators and contractors● Lead and developed an optimized layout plan of the packaging floor using 5S methodology, while adapting into a fast-pace environment ● Communicated and problem solved effectively with external contractors and internal coordinators to design a new and safe forklift charging station ● Used AutoCAD to design the product packaging floor, and new portable racks

Cambridge, Ontario

● Worked on the development and launch of new products including new thermochromic liners and top finishes on decking and roofing material● Performed and analyzed physical tests on materials for their bond/tear strength, cold flex, xenon resistance and bleach resistance using ASTM protocols ● Created technical reports on test results and investigation on solvent leaching which have the potential to weaken containment materials● Implemented a new pre-treatment protocol to correct darkening, thereby increasing the performance and colour consistency of products during bleach tests● Communicated effectively as a liaison between the supervisor and outside lab to organize lab testing

Waterloo, Ontario

● Designed and conducted antibacterial experiments using a nanocrystaline cellulose-based biocompatible agent with polymer coatings and silver inoculation, killing 99% of bacteria ● Used minimum bactericidal and inhibition concentration techniques to analyze antibacterial efficiency ● Helped patent a water-soluble pesticide by establishing pesticide testing methods

Suzhou, Jiangsu, China

● Developed a new rechargeable hybrid aqueous battery containment device resulting in changes towards a more effective solid-state battery● Assessed charge and discharge capabilities of batteries and cells using cyclic voltammetry and float charge-current to analyze their performance abilities to increase efficiency and lifespan● Electroplated zinc on copper-zinc alloy and tin anodes for the goal to suppress hydrogen evolution and corrosion produced by the anode

Chemical Engineering Undergraduate Laboratory

● Supervised and facilitated four different lab courses for all chemical engineering students while making sure they all run on time with good results● Developed lab procedures for different heat exchanger systems, which will be used by over 400 Chemical Engineering undergraduate students● Operated equipment such as gas chromatographer, pumps/valves and distillation column ● Analyzed fuel cell performance curves, rate of zinc electrowinning and corrosion rate using an electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS)● Involved in experiments in electrochemistry, biotechnology, fluid mechanics and process control
