Background

About Dylan MacRiner

I recently graduated with my masters degree from Western University studying the impact of hydrodynamic mixing in coastal flows on the surrounding ecosystems. My specializations are in thermo-fluids and scientific computation, specifically applying numerical methods to problems involving internal shocks and mixing occurring in coastal ecosystems. I previously held positions as a Teaching Assistant at Western University for both Computational Fluid Dynamics as well as Calculus I. Before that I completed a 16-month internship with Ontario Power Generation which focused on qualification of equipment in hazardous environments, quality control, nuclear oversight and preventative maintenance. Furthermore, my fourth year capstone project involved design, manufacture and testing of a AWD gearbox for BAJA SAE's race vehicle. As well as other smaller projects including design and prototype of a semi-autonomous retriever robot, design of a 3D printed robotic arm, and other smaller personal CAD. Finally, I have been trained under the National Fire Protection Association in Fire Safety and Rescue, including extensive knowledge of Ontario Building Codes, Fire Safety Regulations and Incident Command Protocols. Rescue certifications include Confined Space, Rope Rescue and Standard First Aid.
