Partnered with Lululemon to design a precise pressure measurement device for leggings to help track ideal pressure profiles for sports performance. Utilized CAD software (SolidWorks) to create detailed 2D and 3D models of a concrete toboggan's steering and suspension system and chassis. Researched and tested different materials for comfortability and tautness in a pressure cuff and recorded findings in a technical report.
Tested Gas Diffusion Layer (GDL) and Porous Transport Layer materials under cross-pressure and high temperature environments with Environmental Chambers, Instron Machines, Stack Press and interpreted data with Excel/Visual Basic programming for full-scale AEM Electrolyser projects. Designed peristaltic pump circulation method to remove iodine ions from Membrane Electrode Assembly (MEA) in a baltic cell using potassium chloride and potassium hydroxide.
Collaborated with Centre for Student Development & Leadership (CSDL) staff and student leaders to support Jump Start leader orientation. Mentored and guided a team of Jump Start Orientation Leaders, fostering inclusive, welcoming, and engaging experiences for incoming students. Supported small groups of new students in their transition to university by facilitating connections, promoting involvement opportunities, and directing them to key campus resources.
The UBC Collegia Advisor Program liaises with UBC faculty, Residence Life team, and Facilities and Building Services staff to welcome students to the UBC community. I provided members with information and assistance regarding personal, academic, and administrative concerns and made appropriate referrals. Additionally, I supported first-year commuting students academically and socially through coaching and active engagement.
I coded in Python to optimize a process model for the adsorption-based alkane-alkene separation process that can efficiently find maximum performance factors such as selectivity and work capacity with material and temperature-pressure optimization. Additionally, I used classical density functional theory to model adsorption isotherms for the adsorption separation processes.
