MITACS program in Concrodia university, Montreal, QC Canada

During my Mitacs research internship at Concordia University, Montreal, I collaborated with professors and international partners on a project focusing on energy-efficient building systems. My work involved modeling, simulation, and performance analysis to optimize HVAC and renewable energy integration for sustainable design. I gained hands-on experience with advanced engineering tools, delivered technical reports, and presented findings to academic and industry stakeholders. This program enhanced my ability to work in multicultural environments, strengthened project management and communication skills, and provided valuable insights into practical applications of energy-efficient technologies in real commercial building projects.
