  EBM

  Jun 2015 - Jul 2015

  Internee

  A month internship at English Biscuits Manufacturers in Production Department. I learned how the production improvements techniques can be implemented at industry. I Worked as a part of TQM (Total Quality Management) team, specifically on ECRS technique (to reduce change over time), experience to conduct time and motion study and identify the kaizens. This experience improves my data analysis skills.

  Universiti Teknologi PETRONAS

  Jan 2018 - Aug 2020

  Postgraduate Researcher

  Thesis: Adaptive Threshold Based Leak Detection System for Gas Mixture PipelinesIn the first part, a 150 km natural gas pipeline model was simulated using laws of mechanics and thermodynamics. Model was also validated using OLGA dynamic simulator and experimental data from literature. In the other part, simulation data were used for system model identification using learning parameters. Adaptive thresholding technique was implemented to successfully detect 2% leak under transient boundary conditions. Show less

  Khalifa University

  Jan 2023 - now

  Postgraduate Researcher

  Synthesize advanced materials to enhance both ionic conductivity and mechanical strength using techniques such as solvent casting, sol-gel processing, vacuum filtration, pelletization, and ultrafast sintering. Characterize these materials through methods like X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Raman Spectroscopy, FTIR, TGA, contact angle measurements, and XPS to evaluate their structural, chemical, and surface properties. To assess ionic conductivity, conduct Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS). Perform mechanical tests, including compression and toughness assessments, to evaluate their strength and durability. Show less
