Also at U of T, Supervised multiple teams of students doing their 4th year Capstone Design Project, typically 3 or 4 teams of 6 students every year during this time. Projects included, rare earth refining, copper refining, Candu spent fuel reprocessing, Thorium spent fuel reprocessing, using 3-D printing to manufacture new fuel bundles, vision systems and robotics for hot cells. Clients for these projects included CNL, Hatch, and other corporate customers. One of my duties was to interface with the client to ensure students were meeting the client needs as I was the 24/7 point of contact to supervise the students on behalf of both the client and the Dean of Engineering. Duties included defining the projects, review and assessment of student work, coaching, grading.
Other duties at U of T included assisting the teaching team for first year Engineering Practice and Strategies Tutorials, and also serving as Tutorial Leader to introduce students to nuclear engineering concepts in first year. In role as Canadian Nuclear Society representative to 'sell' nuclear to the students.
During this time, also performed some contract consulting work review contract and workflow documents for a major nuclear engineering firm on an as required basis.
Jan 2007 - Sep 2010 Barrie, L2B Engineering and self employed; Private Contractor
Preparing quotes, estimates, and engineering drawings for HVAC, electrical and renewable energy systems. Prepared and stamped a number of HVAC and electrical engineering drawings.
Site visits with customers and contractors to define scope of work. Site visits to confirm progress and completion of work, approve deviations on a case by case basis, markup and produce asbuild drawings.. On-call to sort out any issues.
During this time I was also a sessional Instructor at Georgian College for various engineering courses; fluid dynamics, thermodynamics, heat transfer, project management. Duties included preparing course materials, ppt's, lecturing, administering tests and exams, marking papers, coaching students.

Closing the CANDU nuclear reactor fuel cycle with a Modified PUREX Processing System: Reducing, Refining and Recycling CANDU Spent Fuel
A Koven, J Kim, J Pellazar, L Wu, M Tzolov, S Mulam, E Jelinski and P Ottensmeyer University of Toronto, Ontario, Canada (alexander koven@mail utoronto ca)
Abstract
Currently, CANDU nuclear reactors in Canada utilize less than 1% of the potential energy in fresh fuel bundles before storing the remainder as nuclear ‘waste’ at on-site nuclear waste management facilities. With the modified PUREX processing system, it is economically possible to close the fuel cycle by extracting and converting the remaining 99% to usable energy It is also feasible to separate out rare earths and other fission products, which decay much faster than the longer-lived actinides in the spent fuel and may be sold as precious metals. Overall, the process is designed to mitigate proliferation efforts, as well as produce a mixed-oxide fuel for reuse in CANDU reactors and metallic fuel for use in fast-neutron reactors The multiple products generated create a profit centre
