About

I hold a Bachelor of Science degree from Memorial University of Newfoundland, a Master of Mathematics degree from the University of Waterloo and a Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Toronto.  I spent some time as a post-doc at both the University of Toronto and also at the University of Bath (U.K) as a Chevening Fellow.  I also hold an A.R.C.T. diploma in piano performance from the Royal Conservatory of Toronto.  I am now an associate professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Ottawa.

I have worked in a variety of areas and applications.  The common theme has always been the development of a model to represent a real-world problem and the analysis of what this model tells us about said real-world problem.  These problems have tended to be dynamics/mechanics/vibrations type problems with a smattering of non-destructive testing or biomedical applications.

Current Research Interests:

Mathematical modeling, dynamics, vibrations, photoacoustics,  mathematical  methods (specifically Fourier methods at the moment).
