Wood Science Intern – Structure Monitoring Technology Research
I have been working at SMT Research, where I’ve contributed to a range of projects focused on monitoring systems for mass timber and building envelope performance. My work has included writing blog posts about building crises in different countries, drafting technical articles and project profiles, and supporting outreach to architects, engineers, and mass timber manufacturers. I’ve also been involved in designing 3D models to illustrate how our roof leak detection systems are integrated into building assemblies.
This co-op has allowed me to combine technical knowledge with creative communication, expand my industry awareness, and take part in solutions that support more resilient, sustainable buildings. It’s been a valuable experience, and I encourage others to join co-op to explore real-world applications of their studies and build meaningful industry connections.
