EVENT DESCRIPTION
We are proud to announce that once again, students from the Ocean and Naval Architecture Engineering program at Memorial University of Newfoundland and Labrador have won “The Dr. James A. Lisnyk Student Ship Design Competition 2024”. In this webinar, Bolun, Chioma, Kendal, Kyle, and Zack will present their award-winning project. They will share their experiences and provide valuable insights, including tips and tricks for students aspiring to enter the competition.
The Dr. James A. Lisnyk Design competition is a contest open for all undergraduate students to submit a theoretical design for an ocean-going ship or submarine of at least 500 tons. In 2024, another team from Memorial University of Newfoundland once again competed, placing 3rd overall with their innovative design of a Trans-Atlantic Ammonia Carrier tailored specifically for Project Nujio'qonik. Members of the Memorial team will give a presentation on their vessel, reviewing the decisions that were made to ensure their concept met stringent owner's requirements. They will also discuss the lessons learned during the design process to hopefully aid current Memorial students with their own capstone projects and Lisnyk submissions.
SPEAKERS/PRESENTERS
Bolun Zhu - Bolun Zhu graduated from Memorial University's Ocean and Naval Architectural Engineering program in 2024. He is pursuing the Master's degree at Aalto University in Finland with the focus on marine & arctic technology and solid mechanics. Currently, he is investigating uncertainties related to the ICM-based ice load measurement approach.
Kyle Kinch - Kyle Kinch graduated from Memorial University's Ocean and Naval Architectural Engineering in 2024. He is now working with Kraken Robotics as a junior mechanical engineer. Kyle provides engineering support for various projects such as Kraken's Synthetic Aperture Sonar (SAS) and Kraken's towed SAS vehicle, the KATFISH
Kendall Lee - Kendall Lee recently graduated from Memorial University of Newfoundland with a degree in Ocean and Naval Architectural Engineering. He currently works at General Dynamics NASSCO in San Diego, California in the Hull Engineering Department and provides engineering support for hull form development projects.
Chioma Akubueze - Chioma Akubueze graduated from Memorial University's Ocean and Naval Architectural Engineering program in 2024. She currently works as a Junior Naval Architect with Serco Canada Marine, where she provides engineering support services to clients
Zack Greenham - Zachary Greenham graduated from Memorial University's Ocean and Naval Architecture program in 2024. He is now completing a Master of Engineering in ONAE at MUN, focusing on ship-ice interactions and capabilities of low- and non-ice class ships operating in marginal ice zones in the Arctic.
This is a free event, all are welcome.
