Summary
Sergio Majluf is a materials science PhD candidate and lab instrumentation specialist with 12 years of hands-on experience modernizing physics labs and mentoring students. At Ontario Tech University he built the department’s first centralized SQL inventory system, reclaimed and optimized legacy experimental setups, and implemented preemptive maintenance processes to keep undergraduate labs “zero-downtime.” He combines precision hardware repair and optical experiment design with data-driven problem solving—from reconditioning a Speed of Light apparatus to prototyping optical solar cells for color sensing. As Head TA and Finance Chair he blends technical leadership with organizational stewardship, developing teaching repositories and budgeting alumni initiatives. Passionate about accessible diagnostics and renewable energy, he focuses on cost-effective solutions for low-income regions, particularly anemia diagnostics. Colleagues appreciate that he treats lab work as solvable puzzles, teaching students to discover insights rather than just follow protocols.
