WORK EXPERIENCE

Interned at Al Gurg Fosroc, Dubai, United Arab Emirates (UAE) in August, 2016 in the Quality Control Lab as well as was given a brief lesson on how to run the computerized process monitoring and controlling. Tasks given in the QC Lab included carrying out the regular batch quality control tests such as: tensile strength, compressive strength and color matching.

Interned at SpineCraft, Illinois, United States America (USA) during summer 2014-2015 as a Junior Inventory Assistant. Tasks given include helping in labeling and marking products in stock and documenting the missing items.

LAB WORK

I have conducted several experiments on multiple industrial phenomenas and their process controls such as :

Heat Exchangers (STHE and double pipe)

Distillation Techniques

Chromatography

Extraction

Filtration

RESEARCH

Led a research group as part of my Senior Design Project on creating a nano-emulsion used for the prevention and treatment of skin cancer, under the supervision of Dr. Rana Sabouni at AUS.

Worked with a research group on generating a HRV monitoring system that is able to detect medical problems as such before the effects of these problems kick in, under the supervision of Dr. Hasan AlNashash at AUS.

Worked with a research group on drug preparation and delivery methods to successfully deliver it using ultrasound to fight breast cancer, under the supervision of Dr. Ghaleb El Husseni at AUS.

Worked on a thorough research regarding the implementation of Hydrogen Fuel Cells in vehicles during January-May 2016, under the supervision of Dr. Tharwat ElSakran at AUS. Main focus of the research is the design, functioning and implementation of the hydrogen fuel cell in a vehicle, and its contribution in reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

Carried out an extensive research on Shell and Tube Heat Exchangers (STHEs) as part of a Chemical Engineering course during February-April 2015 at AUS, under the supervision of Dr. Ghaleb AlHusseini. Main focus of the research was the design, construction, implementation of the STHE. Solutions for frequently encountered problems were also personally devised.
