TMU Aerospace Research

At the Toronto Metropolitan University Aerospace Engineering Center, I currently work as a research assistant for aircraft cabin projects funded by Bombardier. Unfortunately due to patentable information, much of what I help work on cannot be discussed. However, the bulk of my duties involve designing biomechanical systems to improve the comfort of aircraft cabins during flight. I regularly use SolidWorks, Autodesk Fusion, and Ansys to simulate these systems before implementation.

Current Project Focus

The main project I work on is a pressure responding chair. During long flights, passengers experience discomfort due to rigid cabin chairs. The pressure responding chair responds to a user's weight distribution throughout the flight by providing counteracting forces which improves a passenger's comfort.

I really enjoy the work I do here, as it's been a great experience to work on really interesting graduate projects - which is something I'd love to lead myself someday!
