Team Member
Shoe Production Optimization Project (Operations Research),
University of Toronto
November 2012
- Cooperated with another team member to carry out optimization project
- Constructed a mathematical model to identify the optimal number of shoe production by using Deterministic Operational Research theories e.g. Linear and Integer programming;
- Optimized the mathematical model using Ampl, Gurobi, Java, SQL by reading the database from the given MS Access database file to and show the optimal number of shoe production.
- Collected Sensitivity Analysis Report to help make decisions for optimal shoe production
Research Assistant (under Dr. Goldie Nejat and Derek McColl) ;
Autonomous Systems and Biomechatronics Lab (http://asblab.mie.utoronto.ca),
University of Toronto
May 2012 – August. 2012
- Developed a software in using Microsoft Kinect SDK and OpenCV in Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 to complement a socially assistive robot’s ability to interact with humans
- Created a C++ program that used the Kinect camera to recognize skin and render 2D and 3D simulations on a console
- Developed a Matlab program that can perform analysis on the detected skin regions and outputs the area of a skin selection, distance of the selection from the camera, among other functions
- Collaborated on a team with engineering students from varying disciplines under a PhD student to produce a cohesive output

Engineering Counselor
Engineering Strategies and Practice Project,
University of Toronto
January 2011 - April 2011
- Collaborated with 6 team members to design a scheduling tool to manage a hospital’s database server from a remote location that could be seamlessly integrated with existing hospital software.
- Analyzed their existing system, identified the Problem statement, and mapped out the scope of the project (including but not limited to: the goals, plan, and scheduling the resources using MS Project)
- Interviewed the stakeholders of the project in order to get a better understanding of the scope of the project
- Identified and documented the Problem Statement, Functions, Objections, Constraints of the project
- Presented the proposed design and alternative design to the client in a 20 minute PowerPoint presentation, to receive feedback and ensure customer satisfaction
