About

Profile

I’m an aerospace engineer working on real hardware and system integration. At D-TA Systems in Ottawa, I work on EMSO trailer platforms, bringing together structures, payloads, power, thermal management and mechanical interfaces into systems that actually have to work outside of CAD.

I completed my master’s in aerospace engineering at Carleton University, where I focused my coursework on orbital mechanics, space control, space robotics and 3D machine vision. My thesis took a different route: experimental multiphase flow through Venturi aspirators, using custom 3D-printed geometries, test data and CFD.

Most of the work on this site sits somewhere between those two worlds: spacecraft trajectories, robotic systems, mechanical design, simulation and the occasional problem that probably started with “how hard could this be?”

Multiphase flow in Venturi aspirator systems

Designed and 3D printed custom Venturi geometries with integrated instrumentation, then used dimensional analysis to build analytical performance models from single and multiphase air-water experiments.

Validated the experimental findings against CFD in ANSYS Fluent and OpenFOAM across multiple geometric configurations and operating regimes.
