Solid Oxide Fuel Cells Laboratory, University of Toronto

Synthesized different compounds (Yttrium Oxide and Lanthanum Oxide) to decrease the rate of oxidation of metal substrates at high operating temperatures (650 C - 750 C)

Conducted accelerated oxidation tests to test the quality of the compounds

Conducted Experiments using a Scanning Electron Microscope and X-ray Diffraction Machine to observe the results of the oxidation tests

Programmed a heat furnace using LabVIEW to eliminate the necessity for manual calibration

Interests

I am interested in robotics, machines, manufacturing, and management

I have played organized hockey, baseball, cricket and soccer

Much of my desire to lead and win can be attributed to how passionate I am about sports
