WHO WE ARE
|
The core team is based out of Dr. Doug Wallace's lab at Dalhousie University (Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada). We're a mixed bag of scientists, engineers, and technologists.

DOUG WALLACE
CHEMICAL OCEANOGRAPHY ROLE
Project Supervisor EDUCATION
Doug holds a PhD in Oceanography from Dalhousie, where he landed after completing a BSc in Environmental Science at the University of East Anglia (U.K.). PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE
Currently, Doug is the Canada Excellence Research Chair (CERC) in Ocean Science and Technology as well as a Professor in Chemical Oceanography at Dalhousie. He is also the Scientific Director of the Marine Environmental Observation, Prediction and Response Network (MEOPAR). See here for a full list of his professional experience. RESEARCH INTERESTS
Doug's research is focused on the interface between the atmosphere and the ocean and the exchanges between the two media. Realizing that instrumentation is a key part of understanding this interface, Doug is also highly interested and invested in ocean technology (e.g. AUVs!). CONTACT

ALLISON CHUA
OCEANOGRAPHY, ENGINEERING ROLE
Project Lead EDUCATION
A crossover from Engineering to Science, Allison holds two degrees from Dalhousie: a BEng in Mechanical Engineering and an MASc in Materials Engineering. She is currently working on her PhD in Chemical Oceanography under Doug. PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE
Before beginning her PhD, Allison was a Production Engineer at Irving Shipbuilding for two years. She has also worked in the oil and gas and biomedical engineering industries. RESEARCH INTERESTS
The underDOG forms the basis of Allison's PhD work, and thus is her main research interest. Broadly speaking, though, her interest is in addressing the challenge of taking useful measurements that can characterize oceanic events that change in three dimensions and over time. contact

AARON MACNEILL
ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING ROLE
Electrical Engineering Lead EDUCATION
Aaron is another crossover from Engineering to Science. He has a Certificate of Applied Science (Acadia), and three degrees from Dalhousie Electrical Engineering (BEng, MASc, and PhD). professional experience
Currently, Aaron is working as an Electrical Engineer in Dalhousie's CERC.OCEAN lab. He is also an Adjunct Assistant Professor in Electrical and Computer Engineering at Dalhousie. research interests
Aside from AUVs, Aaron's research interest is focused in ocean technology, including offshore power systems and embedded systems. He is currently focused on work with the SeaCycler. contact
