Postgraduate Projects

• Simulation of V-beam electrothermal actuator using ANSYS software
• Modeling and simulation of a Robotic arm.
• Used SolidWork to create the physical model and transferred it to Matlab, then deriving kinematic parameters to control motion and simulation of the movement was performed on Matlab.
• Joined MCML lab where MEng project was performed.
• MEng project title: Micro/Nano layering of alternating foam and film layers PMMA & PC. Trained on the following: Foaming machine, Co-extrusion, Hot pressing, Metal Coating and Sample preparation.
• Simulation of Anti-lock Braking System
• Simulation of ABS system with Matlab and Simulink
• Performed an in-depth FMEA ( Failure Mode Effect Analysis) for the case of the blockage of the Suez Canal by the "Ever Given" ship.

Undergraduate Projects

• Designing a Geothermal Power plant
• Managed a group of 4 members in designing a Geothermal Power Plant, which utilizes the Rankine Cycle with H2O as the working fluid, to produce enough power (20 MW) to sustain a population of around 27,000 people efficiently and at a reasonable cost ($32 M)
• Designed the cycle that uses a geothermal heat exchanger, two stage turbine, condenser, and mist eliminator to reach a reasonable thermal efficiency.
• Designed a mechanical Calculator.
• Managed a group of 5 members in designing the mechanism.
• Designed mechanical calculator using solidworks.
• Used Cure to 3d print the housing of the calculator.
• Used Mastercam to simulate the machining process for the rest of the calculator's components.
• Capstone Project.
• Worked with a team of 5 members to improve fuel efficiency of vehicles by designing a new engine car cradle using low density magnesium alloy.
• Performed material selection analysis to find the best possible alloy.
• 3D model of the new alloy was created, and finite element analysis was performed on it.
