Hello, My name is Erik Gaspar
I am a recent graduate of the University of Waterloo's Chemical Engineering BASc. programme. I have the interest and desire to further my education by pursuing a Master's degree at Canadian University, with a particular interest in the field of Process Control.
Process control and automation have been fascinating to me ever since I could comprehend what automation was. Over the years, I have built an appreciation for the vast and diverse applications of process control: the ability to precisely tailor a process to your needs; the ability to generate products within smaller and smaller variances, producing less waste, and achieving greater efficiency; safety and fault management; as well as the inevitable "cool" factor to having a plant monitor and control itself.
One very appealing aspect of process control is the breadth of application. Almost any industry can hope to benefit it's process by employing some form of process control. The technology is even becoming more accessible to lab-scale and pilot-plant-scale operations.
Contained on this site is a collection of who I am, what I have done, and clues to who I might become, given the right opportunities. Please feel free to browse my resume and contact me if you are interested in a discussion or have something cool you want to share with me. Eventually, I will have a "print-friendly" version of my resume available here. For now, get lost in the cheesy animations and pretty colours.
