  • Smart Aero Supply
    Co-Founder
    Smart Aero Supply Jan 2018 - Feb 2019
    Seattle , Washington, Us
    Smart Aero Supply is a B2B e-commerce platform which aims to revolutionize the aircraft supply chain industry by integrating a Blockchain transaction system based on SMART CONTRACTS. This platform provides the opportunity for small to medium sized aircraft parts manufacturers to list their product on the platform giving them access to an open global market. On the other hand the end user client can choose from a list of suppliers and make a decision based on their particular requirements and constraints.WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT?The aircraft industry is riddled with supply chain complications and up until now there has not been a comprehensive solution to rid the industry of this plague. The amount of financial loss as well as the never ending litigation matters as a result of the current model of procurement is unacceptable to say the least. Smart Aero Supplies is the first B2B aircraft parts market that is founded upon the blockchain technology with a procurement model that is based on SMART CONTRACTS. The solution not only addresses the current shortcomings of the systems but also opens the door for creating an advanced technological ecosystem for the aircraft parts market.

  • University Of Greenwich
    Graduate Student Research Assistant
    University Of Greenwich Sep 2011 - Sep 2012
    Greenwich, London, Gb
    The aim of the research was to investigate the use of PEM cell for the purpose of supplying energy for domestic purposes. The investigation was followed by a scaled model design, development and testing. In this project Simulink model was developed and simulated, followed by Proteus circuit design and simulation and finally implementation of the circuit in form of a physical circuit and its testing. Furthermore the problem facing by the UK Power Systems due to the excessive consumption of electricity was put forward and the solution was proposed and researched on by doing experimental work. Detailed analysis of the fuel cell was carried out in this project for its characterization and finding its electrical behaviour. This project has helped to conclude that these PEM cells are a viable option for domestic purposes.Master's Research Thesis
