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).
