Education:

• BSc in Mathematical Physics from  UWaterloo

  • Some interesting courses I took: Applied Cryptography, Mathematical Climate Modelling, Modelling of Cellular Systems, General Relativity, From Fourier to Wavelets, Machine Learning and Physics, and Fluid Mechanics

  • I worked on a couple of very interesting projects while I was there:

    • Undergraduate thesis: Internal Gravity Wave Signatures and Turbulence in Simulated Stratified Channel Flow

    • Climate Dynamics: Model Representation of ENSO & IPO: Analyzing Principal Components of Sea Surface Temperature

    • On a coop I designed and fabricated a PCB to act as a PID controller 

    • Stellar Mechanics: Simulation of a Full Main Sequence Star

    • Machine Learning and Physics:  Learning Hard Quantum Distributions with Variational Autoencoders

  • Most of these and their writeups are available on my Github!

• Working on my MSc in Geography at Wilfrid Laurier University

  • My thesis centers around physics-based modelling of Arctic Hydrology

  • In particular, I hope to enhance hydrological model performance by adding more complex lake physics representations

  • Another interesting project I've worked on involves using cosmic ray neutron sensors to derive area averaged snow water equivalent

• I'm also an amateur radio operator, licensed in the US and Canada, my callsign is VA3LML

  • I'm working on my CW skills

  • My main rig is a KX2

  • I primarily participate in RTTY contests with (and at) VE3KTB

• I like to go camping and hiking

• I like to play guitar

• I like to read lots, mostly fantasy and sci-fi
