Validation of multispecies LNG CFD model and experimental data collection

Liquefied natural gas has been growing in popularity over the recent decades; however CFD tools that aid in the design process of new LNG technology have largely remained over-simplified. This project will produce experimental reference data against which a newly developed set of CFD tools will then be verified. These new tools have been specifically […]

Corrosion of Galvanized Steel Reinforcement in Mechanically Stabilized Earth Walls

The uses of Mechanically Stabilized Earth (MSE) walls and facings have gained widespread acceptance in North America for the past 30 years, as evidenced by the numerous completed structures. Exposure of MSE walls and facings to aggressive conditions could lead to early failure, and areas exposed to de-icing salts tend to present conditions similar to […]

Functional analysis of a novel oxygenase BDA5 in Arabidopsis

Plant diseases damage crops in both yield and quality. Outbreaks of plant diseases can cause huge losses to crops, threatening food security globally. It is of great importance to study plant immunity and understand how plants respond to pathogen attacks in nature. My recent work in the model plant Arabidopsis identified a mutation in a […]
