ACCOMPLISHMENTS
• Successfully designed, developed and tested a Hydrogen Hybrid System for cars from conceptual stage to functional prototype
• Trained students on Electronic Communication Engineering Lab at the University of Western
Sydney, Australia 2000-2006
• Successfully made the circuit analysis and Integration of the Hydrogen system electronics design into the car computer system
• Designed a programmable feedback control pump system that can optimize the isotherm distribution in the region of interest in a cell and can be best described as having the capability to sculpture the ice formation in the domain during cryosurgery. The invention is composed of cryosurgical probes of high flow rate that eliminate possibility of gas blockage and leakage which can result to orifice fracture (a common problem in other existing devices).
