Summary

I have completed Ph.D in Chemical Engineering from University of Newcastle,

NSW, Australia and previously completed undergraduate degree in Materials

and Metallurgical Engineering from Bangladesh University of Engineering and

Technology (BUET) in 2008. I am a qualified Metallurgist/Chemical Engineer

and currently I am seeking a position in Chemical and Process Engineering

field where I can make contribution to the organisation and gain

experience. I am holding a 5 years valid visa and also in the process of

becoming a resident of United States of America.

Education

2009 -2014 Ph.D in Chemical Engineering

University of Newcastle, NSW, Australia

. Focused on flotation technique used as separation

process in mineral processing field. This entailed

acquiring knowledge on mineral processing and

fundamentals of flotation process, designing

flotation cells, performing coal, oxide and base

metal flotation, planning and performing test works

at laboratory and plant scale flotation circuits,

mass balancing, data analysis, writing technical

reports and journal papers, presenting work at

seminars and conferences.

. Studied designing of complex plant flotation

circuits.

. Performed test works at North Parkes copper mine site

for two weeks in 2011. This work involved performing

flotation of sulphide ores, dealing with flotation

reagents, measuring of recovery of industrial scale

flotation cell and communicating with plant

engineers.

. Awarded an International Postgraduate Research

Scholarship (UNIPRS) and Postgraduate Research

Scholarship External (UNRSE) from University of

Newcastle, NSW, Australia.

2003-2008 B.Sc Engineering in Materials and Metallurgical Engineering

Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology

(BUET)

. Studied different aspects of extractive metallurgy

such as mineral processing, hydrometallurgy,

pyrometallurgy, electrometallurgy.

. Acquired knowledge on ferrous and non-ferrous

production metallurgy. Also gained extensive

knowledge on basic oxygen steelmaking (BOS) and

electric arc furnace (EAF) steelmaking techniques.

. Studied principles of materials characterisation and

polymer science.

Professional Experience

Sep 2013 - May 2014 Chemical Engineer

Hunter Process Technology, University of Newcastle, NSW

. Performing research work in Mineral Processing field

under short term contract for Laureate Professor

Graeme Jameson.

. Performing flotation experiments of sulphide ores,

using of sizing techniques (screening and laser

sizer) and image processing techniques to determine

the shape factor of particles reduced by different

grinding media and their effect on flotation.

Aug 2012 & Oct 2013 Lab Demonstrator

University of New South Wales, Sydney

. Demonstrating grinding and particle sizing

experiments to second and final year undergraduate

students, in a group of 20.

. Marking laboratory reports and assignments.

Mar 2010 Copper Concentrator Analyst

Northparkes Rio Tinto Copper Concentrator, NSW, Australia

. Undertook a plant survey, analysis of the survey

data, communicating with plant engineers and

controllers.

Industrial Experience

Jan 2008 Trainee Metallurgist

Bashundhara Steel Complex Ltd., Dhaka, Bangladesh

. Working and getting familiar with the steelmelting

unit, furnaces, re-rolling mill unit to produce high

quality steel billet and deformed bar.

Nov 2007 Trainee Materials Engineer

MEB Glass Industry Ltd., Dhaka, Bangladesh

. Working with latest float glass process and

technology to produce high quality tempered glass.

Dec 2007 Trainee Materials Engineer

National Polymer Industry Ltd., Dhaka, Bangladesh

. Getting familiar with the polymer tubing extrusion

process to produce high quality PVC pipe.
