Thor Jodoin has been appointed Adjunct Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Instructor at the Wallace H. Coulter School of Engineering at Clarkson University.
Jodoin received his Bachelor of Applied Science degree in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Ottawa, and a Master of Applied Science degree in Aerospace Engineering from Carleton University. Currently, Jodoin is a Ph.D candidate in Aerospace Engineering, focusing on the hygrothermal degradation of composites and their resistance to low-velocity blunt impact.
From 2002 to 2007, he worked at the National Research Council of Canada, Institute for Aerospace Research, in the Structures and Materials Performance Laboratory pursuing research in advanced aircraft materials and structures; predominantly in mechanical testing of fibre-metal laminates, and single-walled nanotube additives to aerospace-grade resins and composites.
From 2007 to 2012, he worked for BMT Fleet Technology Ltd. with their Fatigue and Fracture Laboratory, helping to run mechanical testing on various materials for marine, offshore, and pipeline industries.
Since then, he has worked with Carleton University assisting in the research of composite materials, and in instructing and tutoring engineering students.
