Edmonton, Alberta, Canada

• Semi Qualitative reliability risk assessments for 600+ mechanical threats (such as dents) on pipelines• Completely qualitative simulations and reliability risk assessment of mechanical damages on pipelines using Abaqus to extract the changes in stress and strain• Using the extracted deterministic results to perform statistical analysis using @Risk and preparing reliability reports• Took initiative to develop scripts to find and remove duplicate data points as well as formatting the data in the required format to reduce human error

Edmonton, Alberta, Canada

• Level 1 and Level 2 reliability risk assessments for 1000+ crack and corrosion threats on pipeline using Monte Carlo simulations• Identified potentially repaired metal loss indications by scanning various databases and hundreds of files using specially developed Python scripts • Developed automated Python scripts to calculate risk factor for 1000+ threats and documented the procedure so it can be replicated by others• Performed QAQC on the date by checking various databases to do the most conservative reliability calculations• Summarized the data from over 300,000 data points to highlight sections with high probability of failure

Edmonton, Canada Area

• Lead a team of 24 students to build an upper body exoskeleton to avoid workplace injuries• Designed a structurally sound and thermally isolated elbow brace device using SolidWorks, while maintaining an ergonomically comfortable standard• Hosted SolidWorks workshops for the junior members of the team• Performed FEA (using SolidWorks) on the elbow brace to identify weak points and iterate the design

Edmonton, Canada Area

• Developed a Canadian and international safety standards compliant electric bicycle conversion kit with a small team of 6 members• Performed thermal and static load FEA simulations to combine the effect of thermal and static loading for a 3 phase AC power delivery as well as a 5 phase AC power delivery and suggested power delivery method for the highest efficiency to price ratio

Edmonton, Canada Area

• Designed an automatic grappling hook for firefighters to quickly scale buildings and developed what if scenarios based on Edmonton road data• Performed static load FEA for individual parts as well as the entire assembly (using SolidWorks) to ensure design was within acceptable factor of safety• Modelled 10+ parts using SolidWorks based on design calculations and created an assembly procedure with 20+ parts

Edmonton, Canada Area

• Designed and built a solid model (using SolidWorks) of a robot hand for the team for the University Rover Competition in Utah, USA. It was designed to perform tasks such as picking up objects and turning doorknobs• Performed FEA on the individual parts using SolidWorks• Designed the structure and turning mechanisms for the robotic arm which sped up the progress significantly

Edmonton, Canada Area

• Worked with a small team of people to start a student club focusing on building Alberta’s first electric aircraft• Did extensive research on aircraft propulsion mechanisms and force analysis on propeller blades• Researched on power distribution for an aircraft and gave presentations to junior members

Dubai, United Arab Emirates

Lead a team of 6 students to develop a drone for surveillance during natural disasters and provide cellular signals for survivors. The attempt was unsuccessful but proved to be quite valuable in terms of leadership experience and time management
