Graduate Research Assistant
Since Sep 2011
Company Name: University of Alberta
Job Profile:
Developed strategy to optimize recovery process for AP and ASP flooding for heavy oil with ~10% increase in recovery after designing and performing extensive core flooding experiments
Optimized the CO2 capture/sequestration process by using CO2 as micro-bubbles/foams for enhanced oil recovery for heavy oil.
Formulized and characterized a new alkali resistant polymer for enhanced oil recovery and injectivity analysis for heavy oil.
Analyzed the individual effect of elasticity of polymers on enhanced oil recovery for heavy oil using polymer flooding technique.
Prepared technical reports and documents, delivered lectures and presentations in meetings and international conferences

Process Engineer
June 2008- Aug 2011
Company Profile: Leading petrochemical manufacturer
Job Profile : 
Analyzed and optimized refinery wide operations (including blending) using Aspen PIMS and predicted refinery margins based on past and future market scenarios.
Optimized the blending process to reduce octave giveaway and to make use of sulphur constraint respectively for gasoline and diesel.
Created an in-house model for supply chain and production and distribution according to the market change in fuel prices, model was able to assist the operations team for next twelve months
Audited refinery operations and utilized process simulation to identify operational constraints and plant limitations with an increase in gross refinery margin by 2%.
Led and coordinated process improvement team of junior engineers as manager for projects related to operations and supply chain management.
Augmented the process of updating vendor drawings and documents as a member of team in multi discipline environments by effectively collaborating with vendors after in-house calculation for pipelines, pumps, heat exchangers and valves
Performed plant hydraulics, heat transfer studies and validated processing equipments like pumps and heat exchangers for performance, optimization and adequacy using HTRI, ASPEN Plus and HYSYS
