WORK HISTORY

06/2014 to 08/2014 Loss Prevention Engineer

Saudi Aramco– Riyadh, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia

Led safety inspections and fire drills through the refinery and bulk plants. Proposed a new alarm system to improve efficiency. Verified certain valve parameters for safe operation in the bulk plant. Inspected critical refinery equipment for safety code violations.

Completed courses and accompanied engineers on plant tours to learn the necessary safety requirements and understand the process units and equipment to maintain the proper operation of the refinery.

05/2016 to 05/2017 Undergraduate Student Researcher Complex Fluids Group, Georgia Institute of Technology – Atlanta, GA

Developed spray coating method to deposit fluid on paper hand-sheets using an airbrush to reduce material usage by 50% and treatment time 6X. Standardized spray coating method with defined parameters. Optimized different recipes to achieve desired properties and ensure successful replication.

Designed equipment and experiments. Developed criteria to explore the viability of the treated hand-sheets as an alternative for current fast food packaging materials. Demonstrated success of designed hand-sheets as packaging alternative. 01/2016 to 04/2016 Student Consultant

Baker Hughes, Georgia Institute of Technology – Atlanta, GA

Designed a continuous process for the production of 20,000 lbs/day of high molecular weight (2 MM g/mol) polymer as an anti-misting additive for fuels. Designed process to eliminate the need for manual operation to improve safety and increase production flexibility.

Optimized the process to ensure that it met a 9.8% internal rate of return at a maximum estimated feed cost of $6.48/kg. Finished in top 3 designs in senior class.
