WORK EXPERIENCE

Senior Online Learning Assistant- University of Waterloo, Waterloo, ON May–August 2021 ▪ Built an automated hydroponics system to cultivate lettuce by monitoring growing conditions with the use of

programmable logic controllers (PLCs) to implement it as a project for 150+ Chemical Engineering students
▪ Designed a machine prototype that tests the fatigue of materials by breaking a sample to observe the material number

of cycles to failure and used it as a learning machine in second-year materials courses

when creating Bills of Materials (BoM) for machine prototypes with a $450 budget

Student Chemical Technician- Process Research Ortech Inc, Mississauga, ON August–December 2020

▪  Led the Operation of a Fe solvent extraction pilot plant by interpreting P&IDs to control input and output variables to

troubleshoot clogging issues in the extraction cells and ensure a continuous process with a 99% performance

▪  Calculated the ideal number of cells needed in a solvent extraction pilot plant by designing McCabe-Thiele diagrams to

achieve 95% efficiency in the separation process

▪  Performedmass/energybalancesonleachingbench-scaleteststocalculateoptimaloperatingconditionsforpilotplants

Plant Maintenance Master Data Analyst- HubHead Corp, Markham, ON September–December 2019

▪  Built “part lists” by interpreting vendor spare parts and maintenance documents to load bills of materials (BoMs) for

Shell into the HubHead server intending to prevent potential spills in the platforms located at the Gulf of Mexico

▪  Used Excel spreadsheets to migrate “Perstorp” data from SAP to IBM Maximo by producing asset hierarchies and

converting Functional Locations to equipment to enhance the client’s data organization

▪  Created a quality customer demo by loading three data sets to show the benefits of optimizing maintenance strategies

for assets and persuade two potential clients

Research Assistant (microfluidics)- Soochow University, China, Jiangsu, Suzhou January–April 2019

▪  Conducted five daily experiments by controlling process operating conditions when spraying PEG solutions using glass

nozzles to investigate potential improvements in printing methods

▪  Evaluated complex fluid mechanics phenomena by suggesting appropriate operating regimes based on literature

interpretation to produce droplets with mono behaviour
▪ Composed monthly reports using Microsoft Office Suite to communicate the experiment status and collect data that can

contribute to the printing industry research
