Our rockstar of the week is Anxhelo Mecollari, a student from Albania who has been involved in different types of research. 

His first research experience with Humber started during his first semester when he joined Professor Dhimitri as a research assistant to innovate and develop the MRICOSA Water Purification Project. Later, he joined Barret CTI director, Neal Mohammed, to develop service rooms layouts and designs. 

Mecollari is a current research assistant and provides expertise in mechanical and machining services, collaborating with faculty members, and teaching students how to use machines. He is providing students with hands-on experience. But even with the COVID-19 pandemic, Anxhelo kept motivated, he joined with another Advanced Manufacturing Skills Consortium Partner Javelin Technologies Inc. to produce protective face-shields for Humber faculty and staff. 

When asked about his new goals, he hopes to, one day, lead his own applied research.  

“Research, in my mind, is like painting on a blank canvas”, said Anxhelo Mecollari.
