Leading a team of 12 committee members I chaired meetings and ensured the climate of each meeting was productive to effectively organize beneficial events for our members. During these meetings contribution of various ideas from each team member was greatly valued as the combined effect of creative ideas in a team was vital in developing successful events. All events were planned within a specific budget and social media was used as the main advertising medium for the events. The Industry Panel Night and Industry Guide Launch events held by FEM served as a platform for students to establish connections with professional organizations such as Aurecon, UBER, Bain and Company. One of the main achievements of FEM in 2017 was when it won an award for the first time as Club of the Year in Monash. Show less

This project aimed to develop simple, accurate, instrumental methods to determine cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin compositions in biomass samples to; substitute labor and cost intensive wet chemical analysis methods. The lignocellulosic compositions of biomass samples were of particular interest due to its direct correlation to the yield of biofuels produced. My role as a researcher entailed: • Comprehensive research to determine previous work in the area of replacement of wet chemical… Show more This project aimed to develop simple, accurate, instrumental methods to determine cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin compositions in biomass samples to; substitute labor and cost intensive wet chemical analysis methods. The lignocellulosic compositions of biomass samples were of particular interest due to its direct correlation to the yield of biofuels produced. My role as a researcher entailed: • Comprehensive research to determine previous work in the area of replacement of wet chemical methods and identify potential instrumental methods to substitute these methods. • Conducting experiments using the Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR).• Critical interpretation of data collected from experiments to identify patterns and formulate quantifiable relationships of lignocellulosic compositions in biomass samples through Microsoft Excel. • Outcome: Effectively developed a standardized formula to quantify cellulose and lignin compositions in biomass samples using instrumental methods proposed (FTIR, TGA) Show less

Fugee School works closely with the refugee community in Malaysia and provides education to 160 students from various countries such as Somalia, Yemen and Libya. As an educator, I formulated unique lesson plans for different groups of students with an aim to ignite their passion of learning. One of the students I taught was a young refugee with hearing impairment, my lesson plans with him focused heavily on enunciation of my words and lowering vocal tones as well as facing him whenever I spoke allowing him to easily read my lips. It was a wonderful experience and it was elating to observe my efforts pay off when I realized that his English reading and writing skills were significantly improving after multiple lessons. After school hours, I organized managerial paperwork to register all students into the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) database, alongside assisting the principle of the school with small projects for Fugee School.
