ENGINEERING EXPERIENCES
Advanced Welding Research Lab, Clarkson University, NY (08/2010-present)
Research Associate
 Handled mechanical experimentations and data analysis on welded samples (hardness, tensile , bending
and corrosion) and thermal cycle measurement
 Applied CFD and FEA modeling for numerical analysis of magneto-hydrodynamics (MHD), melting and
solidification, fluid flow, heat and mass transfer and thermal stresses in arc welding processes;
 Analyzed mixing and dilution of elements in the weld using Energy-dispersive spectroscopy (EDS)
Achievements:
 Evaluated optimum welding parameters which led to improvement of quality related features of welded
structures such as penetration and attachment area
 Contributed in preparation of a proposal for a $500K NSF research grant
Energy Management Center, Azad University, Esfahan, Iran (08/2004-06/2010)
Energy Specialist
 Applied renewable energy sources including solar and wind energy and passive energy methods for
heating, cooling and ventilation of the buildings,
 Designed a clean energy building with 40% less energy consumption (energy payback period 8 years)
