Professional Experience

GE Oil and Gas Business/ oil & energy division/ Norway

Internship programme (January 2014-March 2014)

Position held: Subsea Control system engineer

University of Birmingham/ Harsco Metals & Minerals Ltd UK

(January 2010- November 2013)

Position held: Wastewater/ Process Engineer (Ph.D. Scholar)

This role utilised commercial, operational and technical experience to develop and

commercialise technological solutions that add value to existing operations within the metals

and minerals sectors. I collaborated with internal and external partners (TATA Steel UK),

including academia and environment agencies, to identify and develop technologies that address

operational challenges facing the metals sector. Particular emphasis was placed on by-product

processing and resource recovery to enhance operational sustainability. This role included

carrying out detailed chemical/mechanical engineering designs and implementation of fully

managed operational resources in order to commercialise novel products.

University of Birmingham (2010-2012)

Position held: Laboratory Supervisor

The major courses that I have been involved in at University were loss prevention in chemical

industry and pollution control. These courses involved considering a number of aspects as in

causes of accidents, major chemical hazards, environmental management and also emergency

planning in chemical industry. I have also supervised some chemical engineering laboratory

classes for undergraduates, conducting different experimental work including, filtration,

physical separation, columns studies, cooling tower test runs and many others.
