Team

Four student teams, one monitoring platform.

AquaWorks is organized as Software, Electrical, Mechanical, and Business teams under Project Leadership—building, documenting, and communicating a reusable campus water robot.

Four teams

Each stream owns clear deliverables while sharing one integration timeline.

Project leadership

Sets scope, advisor outreach, documentation standards, and milestones.

Jiaming Han

Project Lead

Program: Faculty of Applied Science
Focus: Scope, sustainability framing, reporting

I want AquaWorks to make environmental data useful for student learning and campus sustainability conversations.

Lucas Lyu

Co-Project Lead

Program: Faculty of Applied Science
Focus: Platform direction, documentation

A careful prototype should leave future teams with decisions, data, and limits they can trust.

Coordinator

Keeps the four teams aligned through coordination and communication.

Fengwei Huang

Coordinator

Program: Faculty of Applied Science · Year 4
Focus: Cross-team coordination and communication

The build stays coherent when every team can see the same decisions, limits, and next step.

Group leads and members

Each group lead is listed apart from the rest of that team. Public contact emails belong to the project leads only.

Software Team

Members

Younger

Software Member

Program: Faculty of Applied Science
Focus: Software

Software should stay clear enough that the next team can keep building on it.

Daniel Wu

Software Member

Program: Faculty of Applied Science
Focus: Control logic, logging, visualization

Code on this platform should make a reading traceable, not just displayed.

Electrical Team

Group lead

Yuzhe Ji

Electrical Leader

Program: Faculty of Applied Science · Year 4
Focus: Sensors, circuits, firmware

Sensors, circuits, and firmware should be built so the next person can see exactly why a reading is right.

Members

Zongyu He

Circuit Design and Integration

Program: Faculty of Applied Science · Year 4
Focus: Electronics architecture, sensor integration

Reliable readings start with disciplined hardware integration.

Xuan Yin

Circuit Design and Integration

Program: Faculty of Applied Science · Year 4
Focus: Wiring, connectors, system stability

A field platform needs clear electrical decisions and clear documentation.

Harris Liu

Circuit Design and Integration

Program: Faculty of Applied Science · Year 4
Focus: Power, drivers, bench validation

Electronics should survive water proximity without losing traceability.

Mechanical Team

Group lead

Crown Zhang

Mechanical Design Leader

Program: Faculty of Applied Science · Year 4
Focus: Hull, modular structure, physical integration

The platform has to be repairable and understandable, not just functional once.

Members

Tianyu Wu

Mechanical Assembly and Integration

Program: Faculty of Applied Science · Year 4
Focus: Build, testing support, field readiness

The best prototype is one the next team can inspect and improve.

Haoxuan Liu

Mechanical Assembly and Integration

Program: Faculty of Applied Science · Year 4
Focus: Assembly, validation, repair workflow

Physical design should support maintenance, not hide it.

Business Team

Group lead

Alice Liu

Business Leader

Program: Sauder School of Business · Year 3
Focus: Stakeholder updates, outreach materials

Communication should stay honest about uncertainty and testing limits.

Members

Minal Rehan

Research and Procurement Coordinator

Program: Faculty of Applied Science · Year 2
Focus: Sourcing, comparisons, purchase records

Good procurement keeps the build modular, documented, and affordable for the next cohort.

Jane Nguyen

Business Development and Strategy

Program: Sauder School of Business · Year 3
Focus: Partnerships, narrative, sustainability framing

Clear storytelling helps campus stakeholders understand what student monitoring can and cannot claim.

Max Li

Business Development and Strategy

Program: Sauder School of Business · Year 2
Focus: Operations support, archive readiness

Operations turn ambition into schedules, budgets, and handoff packages that last.

Advisors and campus partners we have consulted include Campus and Community Planning and faculty in Civil Engineering. Collaboration grows with permission, safety review, and shared purpose.
