Experiences

Research and Industrial Experience

  • Graduate Research Assistant 

       May 2021 - Present

       Porous Media and Multiphase Flow (PMMF) Laboratory, North Carolina State University, Raleigh, NC, USA.

​

       Lab Head: Dr. Hooman Tafreshi     Lab Website: PMMF

​​

  1. Working on electrospinning of polymer nanofibers, developing models to simulate the spinning process, and generating the electrospun fiber mats.

  2. Working on developing physics-based data-driven models (deep neural network models) for electrospinning.

  3. Performed experiments on generating Polyurethane and Polystyrene nanofibers through the Fluidnatek LE-50 electrospinning unit. Characterized the experimental results using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), high-speed camera, and analyzed the polymer properties using the MCR 302 Rheometer.

  4. Mentored high school students with disabilities for Catalyst Summer Internship 2022 and 2023 to provide hands-on lab and research experience in STEM.

  5. Presented our research in the semi-annual Industrial Advisory Board (IAB) meeting of the Nonwovens Insitute at NCSU in Fall 2021, Spring 2022, Fall 2022, Spring 2023, Fall 2023.

  6. Presented poster on my project in Research, Innovation & Science For Engineered (RISE) Fabrics Conference by INDA in 2022 and 2023.

  • Graduate Research Assistant 

       January 2021 - May 2021

       Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, USA.

  • Graduate Research Assistant 

       Aug 2017 - Aug 2019 

       CFDlab, Oklahoma State University, Stillwater, OK, USA.

       

       Lab Head: Dr. Omer San     Lab Website: CFDlab

​

  1. Developed 2D and 3D Navier-Stokes and Euler solvers for direct numerical simulation (DNS) and large eddy simulation (LES) of turbulent flow problems using FORTRAN and Python programming languages.

  2. Performed research on different LES approaches, and developed novel optimized filtering kernel for LES to provide a better estimation of the inertial range turbulence dynamics than other standard turbulence models.

  3. Developed novel and improved proper orthogonal decomposition (POD)-Galerkin projection-based reduced-order models (ROMs) of geophysical flows using physics-based modeling techniques and data-driven (machine learning) tools.

  4. Performed parallelization of DNS/LES simulation codes using OpenMPI standard library and ran the simulations on high-performance computing cluster, visualized the results using various post-processing software, published our findings in renowned peer-reviewed journals and presented our research in international conferences and regional symposiums.
