Grad students
Hanie Rezaie
Hanie holds both a Bachelor's and Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Tehran, Iran. During her studies, she focused on developing a novel thermal management system for electric vehicle (EV). After graduation, she worked as a mechanical engineer in the industry for two years, focused on batteries and EVs.
Hanie joined the Industrial Fluids group at Sinton Lab in 2023 as a MASc student, with the aim of broadening her knowledge in the interdisciplinary field of Energy and fluid mechanics. She is focusing on modifying and optimizing measurement methods to quickly and accurately assess fluid properties for EV coolants.
Haoyang Deng
Haoyang joined Sinton Lab as an Undergraduate Thesis research student in 2023 summer. He completed his BASc in Mechanical and Industrial Engineering at the University of Toronto (2024) and then joined the industrial fluids ground as a MASc student. Haoyang specializes in Solid mechanical and Mechatronics system design. His role encompasses automating and integrating our current experimental setups tailored for thermal fluid screening and integrating efficient data management capabilities thereafter. Additionally, he will fortify the setup's adaptability to diverse materials while contributing to the collection of experimental data for different materials and their mixtures.
Roozbeh Alishahian
Roozbeh received his Hon. B.Eng. (2023) in Mechanical Engineering at Lassonde School of Engineering. His early undergraduate research involved modeling fiber propagation through atmospheric turbulence and designing macro experimental setups. He later focused on tissue engineering with additive manufacturing (Bioprinting), concentrating on systems architecture, controls, mechanical design, and materials testing.
Roozbeh joined Sinton lab in 2023 as a MASc. candidate, taking the role of systems architecture in the Industrial Fluidics team. He is co-supervised by Prof. Moosavi from the AI4ChemS research group at ChemE. Department. His current project is the realization of an AI-driven autonomous thermal fluids laboratory, focusing on designing the instrumentation and automation/integration of all devices.
Liam Israels
Liam graduated from Western University with a BESc in Mechanical Engineering (2024). During his time at Western, Liam completed various internship roles focusing on materials research, mechanical design, and innovation consulting. Liam started and led the Western Engineering Green Technology Club, which built a Direct Air Capture device. His team was awarded the Best Research Award at the global Carbon Removal Challenge, in New York City.
Liam joined the Sinton Lab in September 2024. As a member of the e-DAC team, Liam is designing methods to scale electrochemical Direct Air Capture solutions.
