Work History

System Engineer

GlobVision Inc
Montreal, Canada
11.2021 - Current
  • Worked on physics-based and data-driven diagnosis, prognosis, and health monitoring (DPHM) of primary surfaces on the Bombardier’s Global series private jets using AHMS system’s data.

Research Assistant

Concordia University
Montreal, Canada
02.2021 - Current
  • Worked as a researcher on Innovation for Defence Excellence and Security (IDEaS) Calls 3 and 4, which were funded and supported by Department of National Defence (DND) of Canada.
  • In IDEaS Call 4, focused on cyber security issues in modern naval vessels. Moreover, developed a cyber-attack detection and identification method for marine crafts
  • Also, a hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) simulation testbed was developed and implemented using Embedded Systems (e.g. Raspberry Pi) and OPAL-RT’s real-time simulator
  • In IDEaS Call 3, worked on development of diagnosis, prognosis, and health management (DPHM) methodologies for electro-mechanical actuators and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV).

Intern

GlobVision Inc
Montreal, Canada
05.2018 - 05.2019
  • Developed a diagnosis, prognosis, and health monitoring (DPHM) methodology for Multi-Function Spoilers (MFS), which are secondary control surfaces in aircrafts.
  • By utilizing Sequential Monte Carlo (SMC) or particle filters, the remaining useful life (RUL) of a given MFS was estimated and accurately predicted.

MEASUREMENT WHILE DRILLING FIELD ENGINEER

SeaLand Engineering and Well Services
Tehran, Iran, Iran
02.2015 - 02.2017
  • Worked on several drilling rig sites in different oil fields, such as South Pars Oil Field, Nowrouz Oil Field, Doroud Oil Field, and Abouzar Oil Filed.
  • Created and developed DTB calibration correction software. By using this software, the error of DTB in tracking the depth of oil wells became less than 7cm in every pipe stand (30m).
