I will be presenting a paper at the International Astronautical Congress (IAC) 2022, on the outreach programs I developed as a Director of SEDS-Canada, as well as the outreach projects/events for the Northern regions of Canada that our fantastic Directors and staff teams developed. The conference will be held in Paris, France from September 18-22, 2022. The paper's title is "Space for All in Canada: Expanding Outreach across the Nation".
I was accepted as one of the six international finalist's for the prestigious Small Satellite Frank J. Redd Student Competition. I will be presenting a research paper on the work I did with reaction wheel testing as an Engineering Intern at Sinclair Interplanetary by Rocket Lab. The conference will be held in Logan, Utah from August 6-11, 2022. The paper's title is "Empirical Methods for Reaction Wheel Micro-Vibration Verification in a Production Environment."
I published the McMaster Experimental Reduced Gravity Team (MERGE) research paper in the conference proceedings of IAC 2021, and presented virtually alongside MERGE team member Paula Bosca! The paper's title is "Mitigation Strategies for On-Orbit Fluid Slosh Development Induced by Refueling: Slat Screen Solution".
Queen's Space Conference is an annual conference that allows students enthusiastic about space from across Canada to meet and network with industry professionals while also learning more about the expanding industry. The conference encourages collaboration through a case competition, where everyone is split into randomized groups to work together and come up with a space related pitch. I have had the pleasure to attend the conference in both 2019 and 2020. It was a fantastic opportunity to meet like minded students and expand my network!
Innovation Nation is an annual engineering conference that highlights Canadians innovation that are changing our world through highlighting the space industry, biomedical devices and much more! The conference also has a showcase that allows for students to display their work. I have attended this conference yearly since 2018 as it is a great way to get inspired!
