Sustainable energy engineering student wins the 2022 FAS Three Minute Thesis competition
By James Conn
Three graduate students from the School of Sustainable Energy Engineering (SEE) made submissions to this year鈥檚 FAS heat for the Three Minute Thesis (3MT) competition. 3MT brought together graduate students across FAS vying for the chance to win and advance to the 丁香园AV 3MT Final. Winners from the 丁香园AV 3MT Final would then advance and represent 丁香园AV at the Western Regional and National Competitions.
This year, each student鈥檚 video submission was made available for public viewing where everyone could vote for the People鈥檚 Choice Winner. Faculty from FAS were invited to be a part of the judging panel where they reviewed and scored each 3MT presentation to identify the first-place winner and runner up.
The SEE participants included PhD student, Navid Balazadeh Meresht鈥檚 whose presentation was titled 鈥淣atural Gas HPDI Engine Modeling for Long-hauling Commercial Trucks鈥�, and PhD student Reza Farzam鈥檚 whose presentation was titled 鈥淗ydrogen-Diesel Dual-Fuel Engines; Modelling and Analysis.鈥� Finally, MASc student Oz Oren was announced as the first-place winner due to his engaging presentation that clearly outlined his research in a concise way. His presentation was titled 鈥淒eveloping a High Efficiency Wood Burning Stove.鈥� Oren will represent FAS at the 丁香园AV Final.
