Work History
Laboratory Technician
Interface Fluidics
01.2023 - 08.2023
- Used microfluidics chips fabricated to mimic porous media in reservoirs to evaluate many aspects of oil extractions such as fracking, water flooding, gas flooding, and SAGD
- Completed 'Methane Gas Bubble Behavior in Bitumen for SAGD' project worth 120k from client within 2 months, resulting in another follow-up project of phase 2 worth $160k
- Completed internal project called Carbon Dioxide Injection in Brine for CCS, opening a window of opportunities for the company to do business with clients due to rising interest in carbon capture.
Lab Assistant
University of Alberta
05.2022 - 12.2022
- Assessed liberation and recovery of oil sands extraction through poor ore from open-pit mining
- Performed more than 100 measurements of zeta potential of 5 types of clay in different chemical concentrations to better understand how clay affects liberation and recovery of bitumen due to slime coating
- Performed more than 100 measurements to evaluate what concentration of chemicals best recover bitumen by stimulating bubble attachment to bitumen.
