Currently, much of my research is directed toward completing a preliminary literature review on previous cold-weather performance studies, with further modelling and testing set to occur in future academic terms.<\/p>\n<h3>Skill Set<\/h3>\n<p>In terms of technical skills, I have some basic experience in spatial modelling (attained through experience on CATIA and ANSYS) and finite element analysis (FEA) (attained through exposure to Abaqus). However, I consider my main technical strengths to be in analytical modelling and feasibility assessment (attained through general design synthesis experience on undergraduate research projects, as well as through exposure to software programs such as MATLAB). In terms of non-technical skills, I am a driven individual who is comfortable prioritizing multiple projects where needed, but is not afraid to seek assistance or delegate tasks if required. In addition, I am also an effective communicator (both oral and written), and am comfortable working in both individual and team-based environments. Finally, I have a great ability to quickly absorb new technical concepts and filter incoming information effectively. This has enabled me to attain a degree of comfort with applying my knowledge\/past experiences toward critically analyzing and solving complex problems.<\/p>\n<h3>Projected Availability<\/h3>\n<p>May 2022 &#8211; Dec 2022<\/p>\n<h3>Contact Information<\/h3>\n<p>*Please contact <a href=\"&#x6d;&#x61;&#x69;&#x6c;&#x74;&#x6f;&#x3a;&#x73;&#x61;&#x6c;&#x6d;&#x61;&#x6e;&#x2e;&#x73;&#x68;&#x61;&#x66;&#x69;&#x40;&#x63;&#x61;&#114;&#108;&#101;&#116;&#111;&#110;&#46;&#99;&#97;\">Salman Shafi, Program Coordinator,<\/a> to connect with Alex Urquhart<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/utili\/wp-content\/uploads\/CV_updated.pdf\"><strong>Curriculum Vitae (CV)<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Degree Pursued Master of Applied Science Aerospace Engineering Candidate Graduate Research Project My research centres largely around assessing the current cold-weather performance of on-the-market commercial drones, as well as assessing whether additional measures can be implemented to address current limitations.
