  Continued work on nano-aerial vehicles to achieve functional wings at millimeter scale using novel, piezoelectric-based flapping. Such wings are expected to be a crucial component in creating micro flying robots in the future. • Researched and collaborated with companies to get tailored materials which increased fabrication precision • Trusted with $10 000 budget to investigate and buy lab-grade camera equipment to improve data acquisition • Uncovered the aerodynamic lift theory for the wings via thorough computational models increasing the theoretical efficiency by 5x • Made stable wings by independently fabricating the first functional metal-piezoelectric wings in a multi-step, highly sensitive fabrication process • Created and improved automation programs such as thickness measurements using sample transmission spectra which increased measurement accuracy by 4x • Co-authored 2 research articles, 1 published and 1 currently being peer reviewed Show less

  Taught students in the misunderstood fields of math and physics from grade 4 to 1st-year university level. • Individually helped improve each student’s grade by approximately 6-20% allowing all students to pass • Organized daily learning schedules, meetings and online support for the students while balancing a personal academic calendar Taught students in the misunderstood fields of math and physics from grade 4 to 1st-year university level. • Individually helped improve each student’s grade by approximately 6-20% allowing all students to pass • Organized daily learning schedules, meetings and online support for the students while balancing a personal academic calendar



MBM Installation

• Holland Landing, ON

• School Facility Inspector & Contractor

  • May 2013 - Aug 2014

  Serviced athletic machinery for two summers in major Ontario school boards including YRDSB, TCDSB, PRDSB gaining hands-on technical experience with mechanical tools and safety procedures. • Thoroughly inspected up to 6 schools a day for dangers in fitness equipment. The list of fitness equipment often exceeded 50, with each one having multiple possible issues, thus forcing me to become exceptionally meticulous. • Assisted in and independently installed indoor/outdoor gym equipment while working in an effective manner to complete all jobs in the short time constraints • Trusted to lead, drive and supervise the crew’s school inspections/servicing, earning invaluable communication skills, while consistently completing all necessary tasks • Assisted in the logistics of weekly plans by adjusting the planned tasks to fit the schools’ and company’s scheduling to get the most time effective schedule possible Show less



Melfer Construction Inc

• Ballantrae, ON

• Landscape/Construction Worker

  • May 2010 - Aug 2012

  Dedicated up to 50 hours a week to help build children’s parks and maintain two retirement communities over the course of 3 summers, while leading new recruits toward acquiring strong property maintenance skills in the workplace. A laborious yet humbling position that ultimately taught me how to work in a high pressure environment and be supportive of teamwork.
