➥ I am a proactive leader with a PhD in engineering and industry experience in clean energy, oil and gas, environmental sciences, computational & experimental mechanics, infrastructure and decarbonization. My background includes developing large technical teams from ground up and tapping into opportunities that deliver value. This includes CO2 storage, hydrogen exploration and geothermal.➥ My body of over 50 publications/patent applications spans simulation software, material science, energy, fracturing, earthquake mechanics and geosciences.➥ I am globally experienced expanding footprint across N. America, Latin America, Middle East and Europe, including network/work across various private companies or national/government agencies with a commitment to research and knowledge integration. ➥ I currently oversee NER's Business Strategy as a Principal Scientist. NER is a team of innovative scientists with expertise in experimental mechanics, material & environmental sciences, energy, infrastructure, carbon, hydrogen & nuclear waste storage, mining/rare earth minerals, geothermal. Our objective is to promote the integration of state-of-the-art laboratory measurements to support data driven and physics-based models.➥ As Corva's director of strategy, I established a development roadmap in support of near real-time subsurface engineering & geo-science applications. Corva is on a mission to re-invent the future of energy: as data is creating a breakthrough moment to make decisions faster and better. ➥ As COO at Rockfield Americas, LLC, a high-end tech company providing software and solutions to blue-chip clients in the Energy, Engineering and Sciences, I established and grew a strong Americas presence, spearheading sales, marketing and development strategy.➥ As R&D Manager at Weatherford, I formed large technical teams from ground up and led full cycle solution & software development from concept to field deployment and execution of multi-disciplinary projects in subsurface engineering. This includes patented workflows to improve productivity.➥As Researcher at ExxonMobil and Stanford University, I was charged with discovering disruptive technology opportunities and also developing commercial patents from scratch. This includes work on fracture & material damage mechanics➥ I obtained my BSc degree in Engineering from METU, MSc in Engineering Management (Infrastructures); PhD in Engineering (Experimental & Numerical Mechanics) both from Purdue. At Purdue, I also held a position at Department of Mathematics as an instructor.
