I have a background in mechanical and materials aspects of the rail-wheel contact interface and investigated the effect of material non-uniformity on wear and ratcheting behaviour. Furthermore, I have devised novel approaches to address rolling contact fatigue development in the field. The methods that I have developed represent a valuable tool for rail network operators as well as researchers. I have gained technical knowledge and hands-on experience with Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM)… Show more I have a background in mechanical and materials aspects of the rail-wheel contact interface and investigated the effect of material non-uniformity on wear and ratcheting behaviour. Furthermore, I have devised novel approaches to address rolling contact fatigue development in the field. The methods that I have developed represent a valuable tool for rail network operators as well as researchers. I have gained technical knowledge and hands-on experience with Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), Focussed Ion Beam (FIB) milling, EDS and XRD elementary analysis, material cyclic-loading test design (MTS810), twin-disk rail simulator, particle analysis, surface profile analysis (Bruker Dektak XT), triboindenter micro hardness tester, etc. During my PhD I have developed a numerical model using ABAQUS 6.14 to perform ratcheting simulations of rail steel. I am looking forward to share this knowledge with relevant industry. Show less

In my final year undergraduate project, I was team leader of a group of four people, set to design and fabricate a wind water-pumping system. I was competent in identifying critical skills in my teammates and distributing the work accordingly. For example, one of my teammates, being in an industrial internship, was trained for welding, lathe operation, workshop practice, etc. Consequently, I assigned him to the tasks that aligned with his competencies.

I was competent in identifying critical skills in my teammates and distributing the work accordingly. For example, one of my teammates, being in an industrial internship, was trained for welding, lathe operation, workshop practice, etc. Consequently, I assigned him to the tasks that aligned with his competencies. Completing a project requires the contribution of each teammate towards the common goal. I was able to mentor each one of them throughout the project and complete my tasks while also focusing on the bigger picture. The financial aspects of the project worked out within budget and the fabrication was flawless. I was able to effectively distribute the budget for fabrication and move ahead with the project. This put us well ahead of many other teams who struggled. Finally, we were able to complete the design, fabrication, and testing of the wind water pumping system. This represented quite an achievement, through good teamwork and mentoring. We were able to finish our project before the deadline and were awarded an A+. Show less
