Work History
Researcher and Teaching Assistant
Carleton University
09.2021 - 04.2023
- Conducted research on energy management of battery-ultracapacitor hybrid energy storage system for electric vehicles
- Focused mainly on the characterization and performance of the battery
- Used C-programming language to develop a particle-swarm optimized fuzzy logic energy management algorithm for energy management of the hybrid system in MATLAB environment
- Considered degradation minimization of the lithium-ion battery in the energy management algorithm
- Studied and applied lithium-ion battery key characteristics such as state of charge, state of health and impact of charge rate (C-rate), temperature, depth of discharge (DoD) as well as capacity, impedance and power performance indices in my research
- Tested the algorithm (particle-swarm optimized fuzzy logic) on General Motor EV1 embedded within ADVISOR (Advanced Vehicle Simulator)
- Collected, analyzed, and presented my findings to the defense community
- Investigated and analyzed a real CAN network on a prototype vehicle and made diagnosis
- Configure a real-life project with VECTOR CANoe, Vector CANalyzer
- Assisted in teaching undergraduate electrical engineering courses: circuits and signals, electrical engineering
- Conducted tutorials and laboratory sessions for undergraduate students in electrical engineering
- Graded assignments, examinations and provided feedback to students.
Ericsson
02.2021 - 08.2021
- Managed end-to-end operations for Ericsson’s subcontractors, overseeing various aspects such as
- LTE and 5G network roll-out, overhaul of cell-towers, tools, trainings, and processes for major telecom projects within Middle East and Africa Market Area (MMEA)
- Multi-account project management (MTN Nigeria, MTN Ghana, Unitel Angola, Orange and
- Airtel Gabon)
- Quality assurance: Ensured that all works performed by Vendors/subcontractors adheres to
- Ericsson’s quality and safety standards, as well as industry regulations and best practices
- Risk management: Identified potential risks associated with Vendor/Subcontractor activities and implemented measures to mitigate those risks such as safety, compliance
- Relationship management: Built and maintained positive working relationships with
- Vendors/Subcontractors, fostered open communication, addressed concerns and resolved conflicts in a timely manner
- Participated in vendors evaluations and negotiations for new projects
- Developed and presented reports on subcontractor’s service performance to top management.
