PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE

 

DREXEL UNIVERSITY, Philadelphia, PA
Graduate Research Fellow August, 2001-present

• Planned and executed experiments in the area of powder processing, forming (Cold Press, Cold Isostatic Press) and densification (Hot Press, Hot Isostatic Press) leading to the formation of bulk polycrystalline ceramics with controlled microstructure (in terms of impurities and grain size).
• Hand on experience on Metallography (Grinding, use of diamond blade for precision cuts, Polishing & etching), Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope (FESEM) equipped with Energy Dispersive Spectroscope (EDS), Optical Microscopy (OM) and X-ray diffractometer (Reitveld analysis).
• Advanced characterization skills include Mechanical (Sound knowledge on ASTM practices and procedures); Thermal (Thermo gravimetric Analysis, Dilatometry, Thermal Conductivity) and Electrical characterization.
• Measured precisely the interdiffusion coefficients in ceramic diffusion couples using Boltzmann-Matano solution.
• Supervised senior design projects and sophomore projects in the Department of Materials Engineering, Drexel University
• Currently super user of Environmental Scanning Electron Microscope (Hi vacuum mode), Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy, X-ray diffractometer, Hot Isostatic Press and Hot Press in the department. Responsibilities include maintaining the equipments & training any new user.

MAX-PLANCK INSTITUT, PML, Stuttgart, Germany
Guest Scientist March, 2001-July 2001

·         Utilized the brief exposure as a guest scientist in Max-Planck Institute, Powder Metallurgy Lab, to develop the isothermal section at 1300 ºC of the Nb-Sn-C and Ti-In-C ternary system.
