Kenneth is an undergraduate at the University of Toronto’s chemical engineering program. He is passionate about manufacturing, software systems, and computational methods. Projects worked on incorporate databases, IoT and Arduinos, data structures and algorithms, and ODE- and BVP- solving computational models, both as part of a personal effort and as part of work for design teams such as iGEM Toronto and Blue Sky Solar Racing.
As part of this project, he extensively draws upon his 7+ years of programming experience to write task allocation software in Python for multiple robots to manufacture membranes with minimal human intervention. He also has successfully automated several steps in the membrane creation process, such as blade-casing, and non-solvent-induced phase separation. He is working under the guidance of Professor Jay Werber, Professor Jason Hattrick Simpers, and PhD student Hongchen Wang.
In his free time he enjoys cooking, finding food spots in the city, working on his programming projects, and spending time with friends.
