In a few words...I am currently in my fourth year of an undergraduate degree in mechanical engineering at Queen's University in Kingston, Ontario. I have a passion for merging innovative and functional designs backed by hands-on experiences spanning the nuclear research, mechatronics and robotics, and automotive fields. I take pride in my work and live by a mentality to always keep improving in all possible facets of my life.

My Portfolio.
A prototype vehicle designed and built to push the boundaries of fuel-efficiency for competition at the Shell Eco-Marathon Americas event.
From design to prototype to final product, this project involved retrofitting a Husky A200 mobile robot from Clearpath Robotics to include many new features including an on-board laptop compartment for ease-of-use.
|
Developed for nuclear research, this device was designed to hold a thin metal foil and regulate its temperature at approximately 300 degrees Celsius while focusing an oncoming beam of 8MeV electrons in ultra-high vacuum for a duration of up to one month.
Experience in machine design is critical for any mechanical engineer; this gearbox was designed with a novel shifting mechanism before being 3D printed and proven under testing.

Converted from an industrial cargo carrier, this vehicle is now used as a robotics research platform which can be driven remotely and is used to test various sensors including LiDAR and GPS.
|
There are many methods to harness energy from water streams; the most common method involves the use of a turbine. As part of an Engineering Design and Practice course, a team of four including myself designed, built, and tested this water turbine.

In conjunction with the Queen's Rocket Engineering Team, a system was designed which would actively control the apogee of their rocket during flight using aerodynamic flaps. The mechanics of the system were modeled in SolidWorks and simulated in ANSYS Workbench to estimate the stresses (shown above). The project required iterating between these programs and fluid modelling programs in order to obtain a final design which satisfied mechanical limitations while meeting the needs of the Team. This system is currently being built and tested to validate the simulations before implementation occurs in the 2020 rocket.
