About
Currently, I work as R&D Manger at National University of Singapore. My job role involves finding new areas of research, consulting in different projects, providing technical support, and mentoring young potential engineers. I have experience in setting up technical lab equipment, solving technical problems, training young people, writing proposals and completing complex projects.
I started my research career at University of Leeds, GB in 2013. I worked at Institute of Process R & D on synthesis of pharma chemical compound and developed a flow reactor system to optimize lab scale chemical reactions. Then I joined Total E & P Research Center Qatar (2015) as an intern engineer and worked on interpretation of changes in permeability behaviors during acid injection for improved oil recovery. We successfully published the results of the project in SPE conference paper (2015). After that, I enrolled as a full time PhD student at Qatar University and worked on the development of hydrate inhibitors for flow assurance. Our team published 6 journal papers on gas hydrates inhibitors and I successfully defend my thesis in same domain (2018). Then I joined Texas A & M University Qatar as Post-doctoral Researcher and worked in the area of Multi-phase flow behavior in annulus. We studied multiphase flow behavior in annulus at varying conditions using advance electrical resistance tomography (ERT) technique and successfully published 2 journal papers and 1 SPE conference paper. Recently, I joined National University of Singapore as research fellow (2019) and our team is working on CO2 oceanic sequestration. By end of 2025, we have successfully published 15 journal papers in area of CO2 oceanic sequestration. Three of them are highly cited.
For my academic and research contributions I have been awarded "Outstanding Teaching Award", "Outstanding Young Researcher Award", 'Emerging Research Fellow Award 2020 by Exxon Mobil, 'Post Doctoral Research Award 2019 by QNRF', 'Best Presentation Award by GCGW 2019', 'Best Research Assistant Award by QU 2018', 'Graduate Sponsorship Research Award by QNRF 2015', 'Best Presentation Award by GPC 2014' and 'President Award for Academic Excellence by CNA 2010'. I am also consultant at Royal Society of Chemistry, GB and actively assist in CCS and Energy Transition projects.
