To whom it may concern,

I am pleased to write a letter of recommendation for Regan Meanson Tan. I have been working at McMaster University as an assistant professor in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering since September 2013. I am also a member of McMaster Steel Research Centre where I am holding a position as the US Steel Canada Endowed Research Chair in sustainable steel production. My research focuses on thermodynamics and kinetics of high temperature reactions in steelmaking.

I have known Regan for one and a half years in my capacity as a lecturer of Mass Transfer

(MATLS 3E04), Sustainable Manufacturing Processes (MATLS 4I03) and Industrial project

(MATLS 4Z06A) courses. As his professor, I have had an opportunity to observe the student's participation and interaction in class and to evaluate the student's knowledge of the subject matter. I found him to be a conscientious and hardworking student. Based on Regan's grades, attendance, class participation and his work ethic, I'd rate Regan's academic performance in my class as excellent.

Regan demonstrated a good work ethic and interpersonal skills. He always completes the tasks given to him in the time required. During 4Z06 course, he took on the leadership for his group. Their project was sponsored by Magna International Canada. His role was to review the literature, gain an understanding of the mechanisms that contribute to corrosion in magnesium alloy. He then had to design a protective coating scheme for magnesium alloy for automotive applications and implement a model to assess the magnesium sample under extreme conditions. He had to learn GaBi software program to conduct sustainability analysis for this project. Due to his hard work, his team members continuously gave him high score in the monthly peer evaluations.

Regan seems to work well with other students and he earned high score for 4I03 course as well. His project for 4I03 course focusses on the environmental impact of lead acid and lithium ion batteries by performing a life cycle analysis. As a group of four, they conducted a good literature review for both production methods, collected relevant industrial data for mass and energy balance calculations analysed and interpreted the results to provide a recommendation, including justification for the most “sustainable” method of energy production. Regan is as equally comfortable with himself, his peers and with faculty as he is engaging, and pleasant. 2

Regan is a clever, honest, sensible young man and I am confident that he will grow into successful engineer. I believe that he would be an asset to your company. I would highly recommend him to you and if you need any additional information you can feel free to contact me anytime.

Yours Sincerely,

Dr Neslihan Dogan

Assistant Professor of Materials Science and Engineering US Steel Canada Research Chair on Sustainable Steel Production
