Engineering Portfolio
My name is Shaan Banday and I'm a Mechanical Engineering Student at the University of Waterloo. My main key interest is advanced nuclear technologies (like SMRs and nuclear fusion) as a means to address growing energy demands. I'm also interested in thermal engineering (heat exchangers, boilers, steam generators, turbines, etc.), volleyball, basketball, and Formula 1.
