-Expert in the area of chemical industries with a solid academic background.
-Consultant of giant petrochemical companies (Names available upon request).
-Manager/consultant of research projects in chemical, petrochemical and petroleum industries.
-Worked for several industries in US and Iranian giants (page 2).
-Lecturer in chemical engineering major, physics and math in Iran/USA (Page 3).
-Considerable experience of chemical process plant design and manufacturing, modeling and simulation of chemical units and oil filed.
-Conducted several projects and research activities such as: Manufacturing Poly Urethane foam/adhesive production Factories. Manufacturing bench scale and pilot plant for converting heavy stocks such as fuel oil and waste plastics into light stocks such as naphtha. His latest pilot plant ending to a propriety license in selective separation of SO2 gas from refinery’s sour gas stacks in FCC units in a refinery. Upon successful operation of the pilot plant, several private companies such as PIDEC showed interest in acquiring the license (page 8).
-Also an expert in the area of CFD simulation and modeled several chemical processes by FLUENTTM/COMSOLTM.
-Several publications in accredited conferences and international Journals (Page 4-8).
-Owns several patents in the area of petroleum industries and environmental issues
(Page 8).
-At this moment, manages the import and export department for a factory's feed and parts.
