Ayon Shahed

In 2008 I completed my undergraduate studies at Queen's University and proceeded to enroll in their graduate program. During my graduate studies I dedicated much of my time to studying solar thermal systems, solar PV systems, policy development, data acquisition and instrumentation devices, energy modeling and sustainability in business practice. In October 2010 I received my M.Eng in mechanical engineering.
