Morgan joined CABER in May 2024 after completing his Bachelor of Engineering in Sustainable and Renewable Energy Engineering with a focus on Efficient Energy Generation and Conversion at Carleton University.
Morgan is now pursuing his M.A.Sc. in Mechanical Engineering under the supervision of Dr. Cynthia Cruickshank researching the hygrothermal performance of semi-rigid glass fibre insulated sheathing for lightweight steel frame building envelopes in Canada.
His research focuses on hygrothermal testing in CABER’s Guarded Hot Box and Pressurized Spray Rack apparatuses, developing hygrothermal models to assess the building envelope’s long-term performance, and assessing the feasibility of insulated sheathing products across Canada. Additionally, research questions surrounding wind-driven rain modelling methods in common hygrothermal modelling tools have become an area of interest related to this thesis work, which Morgan is actively working towards addressing these research gaps.
