Research and Development Scientist

Research conducted on Electro-deposition of Cobalt-Nickel alloy coatings from aqueous solutions on to number of substrates. Such coatings are used for a variety of important commercial applications such as corrosion protection in oil and gas industries and the fabrication of electronics and memory storage devices. The novel aspect of this research was to compare the quality of these allow coatings formed by pulse plating techniques using rectangular and triangular waveform. Research based on the application of Triangular wave pulse plating TPP instead of rectangular wave. The results obtained were promising and showed that improvements to the deposit quality could be achieved by using TPP.

ADDITIONAL SKILLS

Conducted research for development and improvements on chemical Engineering process reaction on various materials for the purpose of lamination, printing, coating

Worked with EC- lab software to conduct research on Triangular Pulse Plating (TPP) in Electroplating laboratory (University of Waterloo)

Involved in the development of measurement procedures and direct time/motion studies to promote effective use of personnel and resources
