Policy Research
Policy Analysis
Risk Scenarios
Program Evaluation
The key role of policy analysis is to evaluate the effectiveness and context of policy altenatives. My work includes science & technology policy as well as municipal affairs, economic development and innovation strategies
Risk scenarios are an important element of policy development since they identify potential hurdles & mitigate unintented outcomes.
Evaluation asks whether the outputs of a program are achieving a desired outcome measuring benchmarks, performance indicators and the effectiveness of tasks and activities.

This document is an example of a question period note which is prepared to inform ministers on important issues of the day that might come up in parliamentary debates.

The mobile nature of air travel, added cost and privacy concerns place limits on the types of security measures that the general public and administrators will accept. The objective of this paper is to analyze some of the issues related to security at airports, with particular attention to the policy of behavioral profiling.

This sample network mark shows the relationship between project tasks and timelines in order to understand the effectiveness of resource allocations

Accuracy Studies
Using 3D CAD software, I can evaluate physical properties and dimensional accuracy of parts by scanning them and comparing it to an existing CAD model.
Using statistical tools, I can asses the validity and reliability of research questions and generate technical reports and presentations for a non-technical audience.
Through the design of iterviews, surveys and focus groups I can help clients to better understand social trends, political attitudes and consumer behaviour.

The purpose of this study was to look at a range of attitudes and opinions related to marriage by three sample groups. The purpose was to see how cultural variables influence opinions by testing statistical correlation of data sets.

The objective of this research proposal is to answer questions as to why minorities in Canada are less likely to choose a career in the Canadian Forces. The report outlines the reasoning and methodology to conduct a series of interviews that will shed light on critical issues.

One of the key applications of 3D scanning is to inspect production parts for quality control. As an application specialist I developed best practices and procedures to capture point-clouds and compare the datasets to existing CAD models. I can then use 3D analysis software to generate dimensional color maps, cross sections and GD&T measurements.




I help organizations by:

Using research data and case studies, I can put together market research reports for management and sales teams to understand use cycles and changes in consumer attitudes or behavior.
Understanding stakeholder values can be useful in identyfying prevailing attitudes and perceptions towards political events, social trends and stakeholder values that can form the base of a negotiation strategy.
This type of analysis can help decison makers to evaluate a set of similar options in order to uncover an optimal solution that form part of a larger policy objective.

As a member of the Independent Film Co-Operative of Ottawa (IFCO) I prepared a marketing strategy meant to increase media reach for the annual film screening event.

This paper discusses the historical precedents, social impacts and potential issues that arise from the use of biometric technology to track personal information by government agencies.
