I’ve been very lucky in my career to be surrounded by intelligent, motivated, and pragmatic engineers. Here is a run down of a few of the places that I have worked.
Ford Performance
Aerodynamacist
In early 2020, I started as an aerodynamicist working with Tommy Joseph’s group in Concord, North Carolina. Starting out I struggled and only having a few weeks in the office before the COVID-19 pandemic really challenged me.
Since that time I have settled in and contributed to several programs:
2022 M-Sport Puma WRC
A ground up redesign that incorporated a new body a-surface and developing regulations. The first hybrid-powered WRC generation provided unique aerodynamic design challenges.
Contributed several visible and non-visible items to the Puma, while understanding overall vehicle design principles.
2022 Mustang NASCAR
Contributed to a-surface development to meet NASCAR submission requirements utilizing computational, and experimental methods to validate designs.
Experimental Methods
Connecting data sources of experimental facilities to simulation and optimization.
Active Exhaust
My first full-time job was working in a manufacturing and design center for offroad exhaust systems.
Development Tools
Implemented Ricardo Wave software to design and analyze sound profile and flow of performance off-road mufflers.
Design and Release
I worked to design, test, and manufacture high-performance off-road exhausts from engine to tailpipe. Worked around engineering constraints including thermal, noise, vibration, and manufacturability.
Research Assistant
OTTER LAB – Queen’s University
I was a research assistant in a fluid dynamics research lab at Queen’s University before starting my MASc degree.
I gained knowledge in how to design and operate experimental setups including optical measurement techniques. The main focus of support for my time in the lab was gathering high-quality Particle Image Velocimetry data in a towing tank. However, I also developed methods to design and manufacture neutrally buoyant and sealed 3D printed models to be studied.
Carbon Nanotube manufacturing – National Research Council of Canada
As a summer student I supported the day-to-day production of carbon and boron-nitride nanotubes in the largest manufacturing facility in the world.
