• Determined the solubility limit of calcium nitrate tetrahydrate in HPLC water by incremental addition, establishing an experimental value of 195 g per 100 mL against a 121–129 g literature reference range
• Evaluated thermal and hygroscopic effects as partial explanations for the discrepancy with literature values

Cooper Laboratory research report, Lassonde School of Engineering, York University.

• Designed and executed a study of zincate-assisted copper and black nickel electroplating on aluminized Mylar toward solar absorber applications across 6 zincate conditions, confirming substrate continuity beforehand and localizing the resulting deposition failure to the substrate via a successful aluminum foil control
• Co-authored a technical report documenting the electroplating methodology, results, and failure analysis

Praxis II design project creating a tool to clean climbing holds between climbs without disrupting the natural atmosphere of the gym.

• Reframed the problem from "cleaning climbing holds" to "cleaning holds between climbs", eliminating concepts that would interrupt the climbing experience
• Explored parallel directions (tripod mount, electric toothbrush, exchangeable heads) and converged using Pugh charts and measurement matrices
• Final prototype removed over 90% of chalk, set up in under 10 seconds, and operated below ambient gym noise (~55 dB)
