WORK EXPERIENCE

City College of New York New York, NY

Undergraduate Research Assistant Fall 2014

Studied the effects of hydrophobic silica nanoparticles on the rheology of cyclopentane hydrate forming emulsions

Performed different shearing and oscillatory flow experiment using a stress-controlled rheometer and observed the

morphology of emulsion in the presence of particles

Analyzed the critical concentration of nanoparticles that leads to gelling of the emulsion

Used anti-agglomerate to study its effect on critical time, evolution time, and final viscosity of the hydrate slurries

Halliburton Abu Dhabi, U.A.E.

Engineering Intern Summer 2013

Oil Well Stimulation and Cementing

Formulated a WellLock Resin recipe that successfully displaced an unknown fluid (e.g. water) under well conditions

Conducted corrosion tests on samples of metal-alloy pipes to determine their corrosion rates

Determined the volume of spacer required to convert oil-based mud into water-based mud for displacing drilling

fluids to ensure all surfaces are water-wetted ahead of the cement

Evaluated density, rheology, thickening time and compressive strength of class-G cements to meet API specifications

SKILLS

Software Applications: Aspen Plus, HYSYS, Python, HTML, CSS, Javascript

Hardware Applications: Compressive Strength Tester, HPHT Consistometer, Mud Balance, AR-2000ex Rheometer

PROJECTS

Ethylene via Ethanol Production from Waste Biomass – CCNY New York, NY

Team Lead Spring 2014

Managed a team of 4 people; assigned roles, delegated tasks, developed schedules and coordinated meetings

Developed a PFD with material balances to produce 120 gallon ethanol per dry ton of woodchips per day from

biomass gasification and syngas fermentation processes in Aspen Plus

Sized and scaled up units, such as distillation columns, reactors, heat exchangers and pumps

Determined utility requirements for the process such as steam, biomass, cooling water and bacteria

Modeled sensitivities, such as Biomass Price, Ethylene Price, CO & H2 Conversion for optimum plant efficiency

Dehydrated ethanol to ethylene using literature values of ethylene production costs and evaluated plant net profit

Hydrogen Gas Production from Shale Gas – CCNY New York, NY

Team Lead Fall 2013

Developed a PFD of unit operations with material balances in Aspen Plus to produce hydrogen gas from shale gas

Sized and scaled up units with reference to literature values

Conducted sensitivities and created a cash flow analysis to determine the net profit and return on investment
