bio

As the Technology Scaleup Advisor at the Energy Transition Center, I help evaluate the technical feasibility and risks associated with clean-tech startup technologies, collaborating with these companies to design and execute experimental activities. This involves planning and validating experimental campaigns, as well as providing on-site advisement and support to third-party research organizations and facility providers. Previously, I served as a Postdoctoral Associate and Sessional Instructor at the Schulich School of Engineering, teaching courses in Thermodynamics and Production Engineering. I hold a PhD in Process Engineering from Memorial University of Newfoundland and contribute as a member of review and editorial boards for peer-reviewed journals such as ACS, Taylor and Francis, Elsevier, and SPE.
