Technical Projects

​

Papercrete Project Lead in UBC Wastenauts, University of British Columbia

June 2021 – May 2022

​​

• Spearheaded and oversaw a team of 8 in developing green concrete that reduces carbon footprint and promotes paper waste recycling by utilizing used paper and cornstarch as the primary material for concrete production

• Facilitated and guided team members in prototyping using SOLIDWORKS, creating papercrete moulds and a custom material for structural properties simulation testings including stress/strain simulation tests for different composition ratio

• Monitored and conducted lab analyses, comparing the quality of papercrete block samples according to ASTM standards

• Inspected an LCA analysis in OpenLCA to compare both conventional concrete and papercrete's global warming potential​

 

British Columbia Water & Wastewater Association (BCWWA) Student Competition, BCWWA

January 2022 – April 2022

​​

• Attained 2nd place in the annual British Columbia Water & Waste Association Competition 2022, designing a functional comprehensive biosolids treatment plant and management strategy for the Regional District of Nanaimo

• Proposed detailed economic and environmental analyses along with end-of-use strategies of the biosolids treatment plant

• Analyzed and strategized the different processes in the biosolids treatment train (i.e. thickener, digester, conditioning, dewatering and drying) to help produce Class A biosolids

 

Hybrid Wind Power and Solar Energy Model, Undergraduate Research Opportunity

October 2021 – March 2022

​​

• Modelled the performance of intertwining a hybrid solar PV and wind turbine hybrid system using MATLAB/ Simulink

• Presented research studies at the Multidisciplinary Undergraduate Research Conference (MURC) for 100+ audiences

• Spearheaded a team of three in conducting literature studies on the feasibility of using a hybrid energy harvesting system

​

Offshore & Onshore Wind Turbine Life Cycle Analysis, University of British Columbia

August 2021 – December 2021

​​

• Conducted a detailed life cycle analysis (LCA) from the supply chain emissions, which includes material extraction, production, transportation and installation of 50 MW capacity offshore and onshore wind turbines in European countries

• Appraised CO2 emission produced from transporting materials and compartments of offshore and onshore wind turbines

• Utilized SimaPro and Excel in data extraction and analysis to assess trends and meet regulations among European countries

​

Pump Station Design System, University of British Columbia

August 2021 – December 2021

​​

• Forecasted costs and energy required for 30 years of water demand through detailed economic and energy analysis by utilizing Microsoft Excel, saving up to $2 million and being one of the most cost-effective water system configurations

• Drafted various pump and demand curves to project water supply and demand generated to achieve 99.99% water demand

• Modelled the system configuration in EPANET to confirm the computed energy demand and system pressure requirements

• Reduced energy consumption in order to generate the least environmental footprint, saving up to around 1000 kWh per year

 

Tidal and Solar Power Feasibility Studies in Indonesia, Individual

July 2021 – August 2021

​​

• Performed research and feasibility studies on installing tidal power and PV energy to provide power for local communities in the islands of Sumatra and Kalimantan

• Examined and modelled multiple geographical datasets to create a map showcasing potential solutions by utilizing ArcGIS Evaluated and converted datasets, including .csv, .tif, .and shp, using tools in ArcMap, Microsoft Access, R and Matlab

• Created a custom toolset for finding the most suitable location for tidal and PV power generators in Indonesia
