Western University: Sabarinathan lab, Institute for Earth and Space Exploration​ (IESE)

I'm currently a Master's research student supervised by Dr. Jayshri Sabarinathan in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, with an interdisciplinary specialization in planetary sciences. I started in September 2021 and have a projected graduation in 2023.

My current projects are thermal and structural analysis for Western's Ukpik-1 CubeSat and on multi-spectral imagers for planetary resource applications.

In the summer of 2018, I was an undergraduate research assistant working with (at the time) Master's research student Chunhui Liu, supervised by Dr. Jean-Pierre Hickey in the Department of Mechanical and Mechatronics Engineering. I designed iteratively-refined meshes for multiphase computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis of a DTMB 5415 naval vessel, validating the accuracy of OpenFOAM's interFoam solver for determining ship maneuvering coefficients. This was my first true exposure to the field of numerical analysis.
