About

I am an undergraduate in Engineering Physics in the Electrical Engineering option at Queen’s University. I have broad interests in space research, cosmology, and space mission systems engineering.

Research

During the summer of 2025 I conducted research in cosmology, modelling the effects of dynamic dark matter and dark energy on the expansion rate of the universe using Python and astrophysical datasets.

Projects

Highlights include the High Altitude Muon Detector mission and the Lunar Rover Auxiliary Traction Mechanism design.
