This website introduces you to my background, education, and career. I'm a chemical engineer turned carbon-capture researcher, currently pursuing an M.Sc. at the University of Alberta after five years in upstream oil & gas process engineering at ExxonMobil. The About Me section covers who I am, my toolkit, and what I'm chasing now.
The Professional Journey section walks through my roles at ExxonMobil - offshore process engineering in Newfoundland, and remote process surveillance across global upstream assets before that - along with the projects, tags, and outcomes tied to each.
The Research section covers my current M.Sc. work: optimizing Pressure Vacuum Swing Adsorption (PVSA) cycles for post-combustion carbon capture using CALF-20 MOF structured contactors, under Prof. Arvind Rajendran at the University of Alberta. 🧠
A running list of small tools I've built on the side - an interactive adsorption isotherm and IAST explorer, a scrolling visual breakdown of a research paper, and a personal reference on multi-objective optimization with pymoo's NSGA-II. Try them directly in the browser, no install needed.
Want to reach out? You can connect with me via the Contact section. I've included my professional profile on LinkedIn as well as my email address 📧. Feel free to contact me for collaborations, discussions, or inquiries.
