    • Summer Undergraduate Researcher
      • May 2012 - Aug 2012

      I was responsible for a project that involved mapping data points irregularly throughout a design space. The data was computed using CFD and ROM (Reduced Order Modelling) software developed at the lab. I ran simulations on two of Quebec’s main supercomputers (CLUMEQ’s Colosse and RQCHP’s Mammouth), wrote scripts in bash (on a Linux system), developed code to solve simple problems, presented results and wrote a comprehensive report.
