WORK EXPERIENCE

Graduate Research Assistant, University of Maryland Baltimore County June 2014 – June 2015

Multipurpose Modelling Laboratory (CFD)

*Developed a two-dimensional model for simulating absorption of CO2 using water-based MEA with the consideration of turbulent flow through a porous medium

*The model is used to study the distributions of gas velocity, pressure, CO2 absorption flux, CO2 and MEA concentrations, and temperature in the absorption column for various operating liquid/gas ratios and packing materials.

*The relationship between the liquid flow rate and CO2 absorption rate is obtained for different packing materials.

Graduate Teaching Assistant, University of Maryland Baltimore County August 2014 – June 2015

Fluid Mechanics and Fluid/Thermal Laboratory

*Lead discussion session for a class of 40-60 students.

*Monitored the laboratory and assisted twenty students in each session performing mechanical experiments to demonstrate the flow pattern over air foil and cylinder in a wind tunnel, boundary layer over a flat plate, boiling and cooling tower experiments

*Contribute to the development of appropriate teaching materials to ensure content and methods of delivery meet learning objectives

*Supervise practical work, advising on skills, methods, and techniques to assist the transfer of knowledge
