•Worked on journal publications for submission. •Benchmarked numerical models simulating two-phase fluid flow in porous media against experiments.•Conducted an extensive literature review to assess the different environmental and health impacts of hydraulic fracturing fluid used in fracking operations and the possible pathways of contamination.

Worked as a research assistant as a member of a geomechanics research team.Compiled data from 100+ papers, analyzed it, and presented it on a weekly basis.Used this data to conduct a literature review investigating the fate of hydraulic fracturing fluid.Assessed the environmental impact of the fracturing fluid and possible groundwater contamination.Built a numerical model, using COMSOL Multiphysics, to study the migration of fracturing fluid and track its distribution in fractured reservoirs.Evaluated through a numerical parametric study the effect of several parameters, especially fracture network complexity and evolution, on the fluid recovery.

Worked as a graduate teaching assistant in the Chemical and Petroleum engineering department.Completed ABET files.Was assigned as a lab instructor for experimental lab courses.Was responsible for the evaluation, correction, and grading of presentations and lab reports of 80+ students divided among courses.
