“My #AeroPassion is making Blue Skies Greener by using Sustainable materials.”
Melinda's Biography
I joined P&WC Materials Engineering in 1995. Holding a bachelor’s degree in Metallurgical Engineering from McGill University and a master’s degree in Materials Engineering from McMaster University, I have been leading the Materials of Concern Reduction program at P&WC since 2005. This program involves evaluating and implementing alternative technologies in order to eliminate environmentally-unfriendly materials and processes. Since the beginning of my implication in this program, P&WC is able to identify, track and significantly reduce the use of several materials of concern in all P&WC engine families. I became Manager of the Department two years ago. The Materials Engineering department is global, spanning Montreal, Toronto and Poland.
