Calgary, Alberta, Canada

✔ Performed Research and Development on cooling technologies, coldplates, all-in-one coolers and our next-gen products.✔ Engaged with customers and designed various novel cooling solutions for their products.✔ Designed and implemented several testing techniques in CoolIT's state of the art Innovation Center.

Oakville, Ontario, Canada

✔ Simulated a two-phase bubble-liquid flow in the upper-planum of the reactor core to model gas stripping.✔ Reduced the pressure loss in the reactor core plates by implementing an enhanced nozzles geometry to better control the flow distributions.✔ Reviewed the design of heat exchangers for natural and forced convections under Design-Basis Accidents (DBA).

Kingston, Ontario, Canada

✔ Significant Contribution in designing a benchtop wind tunnel and choosing materials, fan and controller.✔ Developed a successful NSERC RTI grant proposal, awarded $148,985.00 enabling my team to obtain a new state-of-the-art ultrasound system.✔ Advised two graduate students and provided technical support to my colleagues in various projects.✔ Designed.

Member of YGK Ventilator Team to design, and build a functional ventilator prototype in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, which led to a successful design and prototype in 14 days.Our design was chosen to be in the top 9 between 1029 other participating teams (from 94 countries) as part of the Code Life Ventilator Challenge.

Washington D.C. Metro Area

✔ Managed $40,000.00 US budget for lab expenditures and purchase of research requirements.✔ Designed experimental facilities and flow loops for thermo-fluid mechanics projects and provided technical support for design, component selection and characterizing a wind tunnel.✔ Performed Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) to simulate steady and unsteady.

✔ Focused on guiding graduate students in STEM to prepare for life after graduation

✔ Managed and supervised a team of 10 people for the set-up of mechanical system installations (HVAC, piping systems, Mechanical room, chiller) in different projects.✔ Designed mechanical systems and Mechanical rooms (chillers, pumps, heaters) for various construction projects.✔ Collaborated with civil and electrical engineering teams to resolve onsite.
