We are excited to welcome the new students joining the Applied Dynamics Laboratory as graduate students!

Keely Gibb is beginning her Master of Applied Science as part of the Applied Dynamics Laboratory. Keely held a NSERC Undergraduate Student Research Award through the summer, assisting with research on vibration in neonatal transport under the supervision of Dr. Robert Langlois. She is continuing to work on the neonatal patient transport project through developing a multibody model of the EMS stretcher to replicate the dynamics exhibited in physical full-vehicle testing.

Daniel Kyrollos is beginning his Master of Applied Science in Electrical and Computer Engineering with a specialization in Data Science. Daniel held a NSERC Undergraduate Student Research Award through the summer, performing research assessing the impact of speed humps on ambulance ride quality under the supervision of and Dr. Robert Langlois. Daniel also authored a paper for the 7th International Conference of Control, Dynamic Systems, and Robotics (CDSR’20) during the summer.
