Prepared and updated lab instructions/manuals, and assembled proper experimental equipment set-ups before each labPerformed experiments on assembled equipment set-ups to make sure all of them are working properlyAccurately record the lab results and provide reports to course instructorCollaborate with professor and undergraduate students individuals in an educational lab preparation and help them with assembling, performing experiments, and disassembling experimental lab equipment set-ups

Worked on research project to observe the effect of nano-particle size on the mechanical behavior of polymer nano-composite.Tasks include-Make polymer nano composite sample using nano particle of different sizes. Performed required tensile test to characterize the prepared nano composite samples.Performed statistical analysis to conclude the size effect of nano particle.Also reviewed research papers related to polymer nano-composite during the above research work.Tasks include:Performed statistical analysis to obtain fitted model for mechanical behaviors of several polymer nano-composites.

Had responsibility for development activities in weaving, for sample yardage in coordination with production and process planning departments.I suggested feasible construction of all developments considering the mill’s capacity and resourceWas involved with the continuous improvement process by keeping the track of research data and analyzing them while later reproduction of similar products

Got training on knitting machines part (both circular and flat) to learn how to relate product faults to machine set up or machine failure. Macroscopic analysis within the knitting zone of knitting machine to trace the reason of’ specific machine part’s failure and microscopic analysis of those knitting machine parts to find out part’s structural imperfection to product failure.
