Hello everyone! I'm a chemical engineering PhD student at McMaster, working on the modeling and simulation of a reactive distillation process for a certain pharma drug.

My 2nd time being in the office since starting my PhD. Here's what my office space looks like now. *I'll post an update by the end of this year.

Celebration lunch for the undergrad students' summer internships. Xi Research Group (McMaster University)

After more than a year of online meetings, I met my prof in person today for the first time. I also met some of my colleagues within the research group for the first time. 😁

How was your first year of the PhD program? Me:

Catching probably the last bit of warmth of the year, the group enjoyed some quality fun time together in a BBQ party -- the first in-person gathering of the last three years!🍔🍔🥳🎉
