OBJECTIVE: To seek an interesting, challenging and progressive career wherein I can utilize my potential to the fullest extent,

enhance my skills and strengths in conjunction with company’s goals.

SUMMARY: I have nearly one year of experience as a process engineer at Ausenco with particular emphasis on designing slurry,

tailings, gas and water pipelines. My acquired knowledge includes, hydraulic system design, transient analysis,

development of pipeline operating ranges, creation of data sheets, valve lists, technical specifications, generation of

P&IDs and PFDs of pipeline projects from conceptual study level through basic engineering. I also have experience

performing capital cost estimates, evaluating the economic feasibility of pipeline systems, creating design basis and

process documents for various projects.

OTHER Research Assistant at University of Kansas,USA

EXPERIENCE: Computation fluid mechanics

Worked with a team of five engineers and scientists to model flow through porous media.

Using active micro -rheology technique coupled with microscopy techniques small changes were

sensitively monitored in surface tension vs time measurements of an aqueous solution of complex

fluids(PCN) and its surface viscosity was determined.

Chemical Engineering Co-op

Assisted senior engineers with test studies and implementation. Execute standard tests and create

new tests for products and processes.

Designed and developed a manufactured tooling as well as universal methodology to enhance process

control within the production process enabling increased efficiency rates and quality control levels.

Developed a statistical simulation of the attachment process, enabling standardization and optimization

of the process control plan.

Identified variables affecting the product performance utilizing statistical analysis.
