From open-encyclopedia.com - the free encyclopedia.

I'm a Canadian studying aerospace engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. I'm working on a PhD in the field of multidisciplinary design optimization applied to aircraft design. I lived for the first 18 years of my life in Burnaby, British Columbia, the next seven years in Toronto, and I've lived in Cambridge, Massachusetts for the last year.

I am a Wikipedia custodian. Others call it a sysop or an admin, but I prefer custodian. One meaning: janitor. The janitor has the keys to all the rooms but does not have higher status. Another meaning: keeper, protector, steward.

If you believe I have abused my custodial powers please let me know on my talk page.

I am also a member of the mediation committee. If you are considering requesting my help resolving a conflict between yourself and another user or group of users, please read User:moink/Mediation.

Note to self: Things that need to be fixed when I'm in the same city as my books and have some time:

• Fluid dynamics needs a history section
• Navier-Stokes equations: Derivation
• Shock wave: rewrite, add some equations
• Optimization (mathematics): needs to be less globally oriented
• Streamline
