About Muhammad Akram Karimi (Phd)
Chief Technology officer (CTO), bringing a unique non-gamma multiphase meter to the market. Leading the product development, team building, startup fundraising and continuous innovation in microwave sensing. Believes in collaboration, teamwork and opportunity which if combined, can do wonders. Humbled to have received multiple national & international recognitions that motivates me to contribute even more. Here are some of the highlights of what I am involved in:• Formed a team of 20+ talented engineers and scientists to commercialize a superior water-cut and multiphase flow meter for O&G industry (First MPFM, originated from GCC region)• Joined forces with collaborators for product development, manufacturing & supply chain management• Directly managing the development of microwave sensing spool, IECEx certified electronics box, embedded flow computer & dashboard for remote connectivity• R&D experience of over 10 years to develop a patented microwave Dual Mutually Orthogonal Resonance (DMOR) technology which enables compact, full-range, non-intrusive, non-radioactive and orientation insensitive Water Cut (WC) sensor & Multiphase Flow Meters (MPFM)• Strategic support and generous funding of over 3 Million USD by Saudi Aramco & KAUST Innovation Fund that has enabled us to contribute to vision 2030 of Saudi Arabia• Conducted field trials of our water-cut and multiphase flow meters in multiple oil wells in the GCC region• Experiencing field environment and different operations on site related to well intervention & well testing• Authored 20+ research publications in peer-reviewed journals & conferences of IEEE, Elsevier & Wiley. Actively contributing more in the field of multiphase flow sensing• Inventor of 10+ patents, some of which have already been licensed and some going through license T&C process. Actively filing new IP on microwave sensing

Research Collaborator
Designed, developed and tested a fully functional lab prototype of microwave water-cut sensor which can be used in vertical as well as horizontal positions without requiring any flow conditioner/mixer Designed and developed microwave based, IEC-60079 certified, 2-phase flow meter in order to obtain full range water-cut & flow rate measurements Soon to.
Oct 2014 - Jan 2024
Visiting Researcher
Performed the initial testing of the multiphase flow meter in the 3-phase flow loop of Aramco Services Company. Here I summarize our findings:1- Rated for 1300 psi and 125C (Harsh HPHT field conditions)2- Water Cut(WC) Measurement Accuracy ~1-2% absolute3- Validated the possibility of gas measurement with the same meter4- Integrated flow velocity.
Oct 2018 - Nov 2018
Visiting Graduate Student (Research Collaboration)
Visited Aramco Services Company Houston,TX in order to perform characterization as well as performance evaluation of the patented water-cut(WC) sensor, built in collaboration with Saudi Aramco. The sensor performed equally well over full water-cut range, different flow rates and orientations. Full range accuracy of 1% was achieved in vertical as well as in.
Apr 2016 - May 2016
Research Collaborator
Collaborating with WINS to develop the field prototype of "first-of-its-kind" downhole water-cut sensor for oil and gas industry.
Jan 2018 - Jan 2020
Phd Candidate
Designed and developed wide range of printed and low cost microwave sensors for oil industry applications:- TRL-8 grade, IEC certified, Microwave based Water Cut Sensor and 2-phase flow meter (Full sensor, interfacing circuitry and SW design and development)- TRL-5 grade, Microwave based Wireless Leak Detector for metallic and non-metallic pipelines- TRL-5.
Feb 2014 - Nov 2019
Visiting Researcher
Conducted industrial flow loop trials of our multi-patented microwave based "Multi-phase Flow Meter" developed for well testing in oil industry.Multi-phase flow meter is capable of detecting phase fractions (oil, water and gas) as well as the flow rate of the mixture. It helps optimizing the oil production process and generating alerts for water break-in.
