:: Team Members

Hi Everyone,

My name is Zeinab Jahed, and I am the group leader for the Pillars life saving system. We, Pillars, are a group of four Mechatronics Engineering students from the University of Waterloo. For more information regarding the life saving system, please feel free to browse our ‘Design’ section. We are a diverse group of students from very different backgrounds, with different expertise and work experiences. But, it was our common interest in the project that encouraged us to work together to create a life saving system as our final engineering design project. 

Now, I would like to give a brief introduction of the group members and relevant experiences in the past which have helped us throughout the project life cycle:


:: Zeinab Jahed
   4B Mechatronics Engineering
Email:  zjahedmo@uwaterloo.ca
I was chosen as the team leader for this project due to my expertise in specialized software design, interest in robotics, and project management. During my past work terms, I have been extensively involved in developing customized software’s for diverse industry sectors such as finance and natural resources. As a project manager, I have been involved in managing large scale and high risk projects from conception till implementation. I have also volunteered in many robotics research teams, and been involved in design, construction and testing of commercial robots. All these experiences have been very beneficial for this project due to its large scope and required expertise.
:: Jashneet (Jash) Cheema
   4B Mechatronics Engineering
Email:  jcheema@uwaterloo.ca
Jash has spent most of her work terms in the Automotive Industry, in varied positions ranging from engineering to product design and supervision. During these work terms she has gained experience in engineering design (both mechanical and electrical), product testing, problem solving and product documentation. Due to these experiences, she was involved in the mechanical and electrical design, final testing and documentation of the life saving system.
:: Linda Tao
   4B Mechatronics Engineering
Email:  lltao@uwaterloo.ca
Linda has mostly worked as a project manager and business consultant in diverse industries ranging from manufacturing to pharmaceutical and finance. During these work-terms, she has gained valuable experience in project management and has been a great help to me in managing this project and creating presentations and posters for the project. She has also volunteered for specialized robotics teams, and has been involved in mechanical design and fabrication of competitive robots. Therefore, she was involved in the mechanical design and fabrication of the life saving system.
:: Quang-Tue Nguyen
   4B Mechatronics Engineering
Email:  q2nguyen@uwaterloo.ca
Quang-Tue has worked in many industry sectors ranging from automotive to energy. During most of his work terms, he was involved in hands-on mechanical product design and testing. This gave him the expertise not only in design software’s and construction of the product, but also in material testing (for physical properties etc.). Due to these expertise's, he was mainly involved in the mechanical design and integration of the life saving system.
