Education
Lassonde School of Engineering- York University, Toronto, CA
October 2020
 BEng- Mechanical Engineering with Honors
 Achieved an overall GPA of 3.4.

Employment History
AM-SET LAB, Research Assistant, May 2019-
September 2020
 Investigated the potential of using a Trombe wall equipped with a sensible thermal energy
storage medium (TES), a variable speed fan, and a damper to store and optimize the delivery
of solar thermal energy to best match the demand profile of a typical residential building in
Ontario.
 Successfully developed a mathematical model that simulates and numerically analyzes the
amount of solar energy stored in a TES medium using COMSOL.
 Calculated the expected rate at which heat can be delivered from the ventilation channel to the
interior of the building.
 Performed numerical analysis using ANSYS to determine the effects of changing the width of
the ventilation channel on the temperature and intensity of the airflow delivered.
