EDUCATION

MAY 2018-DEC 2019

MASTER OF SCIENCE IN MECHANICAL ENGINEERING, UNB

Research focused on improving force and moment estimation models for submarine design; specifically relating to a hull and sail configuration in a steady turning maneuver

Developed a simulation to improve existing models to achieve more accurate results with respect to the physical interactions between the submarine hull and the surrounding fluid. This research, coupled with previous studies regarding other hull and appendage configurations, allows for safer maneuvering and more efficient operation

Suspended after one year due to funding issues
