Research Focus: The behaviour of timber structures and mass-timber construction

Previous Degree: University of Waterloo, BASc

Type of Fellowship: EEF-M

Favourite activities? Outside of my research I enjoying playing volleyball, hockey, baseball and golf in the community, as well as here at the University of Waterloo. One of my favourite clubs here is the UW SERVE volleyball club. I also enjoy the opportunity to help mentor undergraduate students at events such as Engineering Design Days. Away from the university, I enjoy spending time with family and friends, travelling, and getting outdoors.

Engineering/current research inspirations?  From a young age I was always interested in buildings. Driving through large cities I would marvel at these impressive structures and the immence impact their design has on our lives. Additionally in school, I enjoyed and excelled the most in math, physics and problem solving. Combining both these interests eventually lead me to find structural engineering. Structural engineering became a perfect mix between my interest in buildings and their design, and the school subjects I enjoyed the most.

Why UWaterloo?  I chose UWaterloo for graduate studies for the opportunity to be involved in the growing wood building research group here at the university. With numerous innovations and improvements in wood building materials in recent years, wood is challenging concrete and steel as the default materials for some of our largest buildings. Being able to contribute to improving our knowledge base on these structures was an opportunity I truly valued and is why I chose UWaterloo to begin my graduate studies.

Future aspirations? In the future I hope to be an part of a collaborative and supportive structural engineering team that is continually challenged by new and innovative projects.

Previous Degree: University of Waterloo, BASc

Type of Fellowship: EEF-M

Favourite activities? Playing sports (Soccer, hockey, basketball, volleyball). Reading books (specifically I like books about the brain and psychology when I am finally not reading for my research!)

Engineering/current research inspirations?  Starting with my undergrad, I always enjoyed math and science and believed engineering was a good way to exercise those skills. I think I made the right choice, engineering is still amazing and fun!  For my current research I was inspired to work on automating infrastructure inspections after having an internship as a bridge inspector. Seeing first-hand the limitations of current infrastructure inspection practices pushed my desired to research an improvement.

Why UWaterloo?  UWaterloo has a great reputation for engineering and I enjoyed my undergrad there so I had good relationships with other graduate students and professors. I also loved the topic that I would be able to research. The choice seemed like a no brainer to me.

Future aspirations? I have a lot of aspirations right now. I've thought about turning my research into a startup, finding a fun job, doing a PhD... Being a student at UWaterloo opens so many potential doors for you! For now I only have my sights set on finishing my MASc degree, then we will see where the future takes me.
