Apt *** B. ** Vairo Blvd. State College, PA 16803 Cell: 814-***-**** Email: ****.**.********@*****.***

Accomplished Mechanical Engineer looking for an entry level position.

Excellent knowledge of design methodologies and manufacturing processes.

Strong academics and analytical skills coupled with demonstrated research experience on medical needles.

Proficient in carrying out finite element analysis using ANSYS/ COMSOL Multiphysics, creating mechanical

drawings on SolidWorks/ AutoCAD, programming in C/ MATLAB and data acquisition with NI LabVIEW.

Skilled in operating Lathe, Milling, Drilling, Grinding and Band saw machine.

Highly motivated team player with exceptional communication and interpersonal skills.

EDUCATION

Pennsylvania State University, State College, PA

Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering (GPA: 4.0/ 4.0.), May 2013.

Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology, Dhaka, Bangladesh

Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering (GPA: 3.73/ 4.0.), February 2011.

EXPERIENCE

Industrial Intern, Navana CNG Limited, Bangladesh, April 2010 – May 2010

Performed on site duties related to Octane/ Diesel driven engine conversion to a CNG driven one.

Validated subsystem performance and assisted in cylinder retesting.

Submitted report based on the plant’s overall operation and market survey of their products.

Research Assistant, Pennsylvania State University, June 2012 – May 2013

Experimentally investigated needle tissue interaction for precise needle positioning in biological tissue. Applied

textures to needles and quantified the friction and needle deflection at the needle tissue interface.

Mathematically modeled hypodermic needles for reducing patient pain during needle insertion. Important needle

design parameters were identified and needle tip volume at given insertion depths were calculated using the

model and SolidWorks.

Investigated vibration tissue cutting of blunt needles for reducing needlestick injuries. Effects of needle blunting

length and vibration frequency on insertion force were quantified through experimentation and modeling.

Teaching Assistant, Pennsylvania State University, August 2011 – May 2012

Performed grading and conducted tutoring sessions for an undergraduate Heat Transfer course.

PROJECTS

Finite Element Modeling of Joule Heating of Nanostructures, October 2011 – December 2011

Proposed a setup to carry out mechanical testing of a nanostructure at elevated temperature.

Carried out Finite Element modeling and simulation of the proposed system using COMSOL Multiphysics.

Experimental and Statistical Analysis of Indigenous Steel Products, April 2010 – December 2010

Collected local steel products and manufactured testing samples using Lathe and grinding machine.

Mechanical and chemical properties of the samples were investigated and statistically analyzed.

PUBLICATION

Surface Texture and Insertion Speed Effect on Needle Friction, A. Abdullah et. al., 54th annual meeting of AAPM.
