Experience

• 

  York University

  May 2015 - Sept 2015

  Research Assistant

  I modelled distribution of carbon molecules in polymer matrix and how the molecules shift when the matrix becomes a foam. I also developed computer simulation to evaluate thermal and electrical conductivity. Supervisor: Dr. Siu Ning Leung (York University).

  University of Toronto

  May 2016 - Aug 2016

  Research Assistant

  I performed simulations of fluid flow for two projects: airfoil optimization with prediction of laminar-to-turbulent flow transition, derivation/implementation of flow boundary values for modelling turbofan engines. Supervisor: Dr. David Zingg (UTIAS).

  I taught machine learning at an introductory level to a class of ~60 third-year robotics engineering students. I prepared and delivered lectures, assignments, and examinations covering different approaches to machine learning, starting from linear models and working up to neural networks. I also covered statistical perspectives on learning, and the connections between deterministic approaches (e.g. minimizing error) and probabilistic approaches. Teaching obligations consisted of 4-5 hours of lecture per week. عرض أقل I was a teaching assistant for the aircraft design capstone course for Jan-Apr 2021 and 2022. I led tutorials on the design of payload-carrying model airplanes. I taught students to analyze aircraft performance, stability, and structure. I instructed students in model aircraft construction using machine shop equipment and took part in flight testing their airplanes. Finally, I designed tutorials and example airplane components as teaching tools for design and construction which continue to be used after I left the teaching team. عرض أقل
