Colin is a final-year Engineering Physics student at the University of Saskatchewan. He has worked in a research group designing satellite prototypes to monitor ozone and aerosols, including a campaign in Sweden to test a satellite prototype on a high-altitude balloon. He also participated in the design of Saskatchewan's first and second home-grown satellites, RADSAT-SK1 and RADSAT-SK2. Outside of academics, Colin has mentored students at a local youth group and served as a maintenance volunteer at the Library of Things in Saskatoon. He has also sung in the Greystone Singers choir and played clarinet in the USask Wind Orchestra. Colin hopes to complete research that will ameliorate anthropogenic climate change, and he plans to pursue a DPhil focusing on atmospheric science.
