Seeking a technical position with a progressive company that will utilize my

educational background and work experience.

·        B.S.‑Chemical Engineering, Colorado State University, Fort Collins, CO May 1996

Major GPA 2.6

·         Major courses taken at Colorado State University

              Thermodynamics, heat transfer &thermal separation, mass transfer, chemical process    analysis,                       material and energy balances, chemistry, calculus, physical chemistry, chemical reactor design,                       equilibrium–staged separations, polymer science & engineering process control &                                               instrumentation.

·        Strong computer skills gained through course work. (Worked with Quattro pro, WordPerfect, MS word 97, excel, MS PowerPoint, Aspen Max, ChemSep, Process Identification and control loop explorer system (this software helps in measuring the stability of different kinds of chemical process.)

·        Good laboratory skills gained through course work (preformed different kinds of experiments. such as steam condensation, double effect evaporator, Ion exchange and many more which relate to heat and mass transfer. Also wrote technical reports for each lab, and preformed oral presentations.)

I also used NMR and IR machines to identify several compounds and substances.

·        Strong oral and written communication skills gained through course work

·        Ability to analyze, and simplify complex issues and problems

·         C++, FORTRAN

·        Computer experience                                                                                       23/8/1993 – 9/5/1996

           Colorado State University, Department of Chemical and Bioresorce Engineering, Fort Collins,                           Colorado. Worked with Quattro pro (spreadsheet) word perfect, and power point. I wrote technical

           reports using graphics and spread sheet calculations I also used power point in designing slides for                  oral presentations. Also used FORTRAN and C++ programming for solving engineering problems and            designing of chemical plants.  Also used several simulation software packages like Aspen Max, Process            Identification and Control Loop Explorer System, and Chemsep.

·        Laboratory Experience                                                                                  1/1/1995 -1/12/1995

          Colorado State University, Department of Chemical and Bioresource Engineering, Fort Collins,

          Colorado. Worked in fluid mechanics and mass and heat transfer laboratories. Preformed experiments           on distillation columns, double effect evaporator and ion exchange experimentation. Wrote technical               reports and delivered oral presentations on the results.

                                                                                                                     1/1/1997 – 1/1/1998

Colorado state university, department of physics, high energy laboratory, Fort Collins, Colorado

Worked in hand soldering, testing the resistance and current of circuit boards, testing capacitors using special computer software. Also did some coating for the circuit boards and packaging and shipping

·        Celestica inc., Fort Collins, Colorado                                                     1/5/2000 – 29/9/2001

         Worked as a functional test operator on the dell line with Slim Fast and Napa                            motherboards. I tested             the functionality of the motherboards and helped in trouble shooting and diagnosing of the                                motherboards. Also as a  machine operator for service mount machines and deck stencil. (a solder                   placement machines) I assisted in the maintenance and trouble shooting any problems with the                       machines. 

·        Senior Design- Separation of sales gas from mixture of gases                30/8/1995 - 10/5/1996       Colorado State University, Fort Collins, Colorado. Designed a plant with two distillation columns,

           expander, compressors, and pumps for separating sales gas (Methane) from a mixture of Propane,                 Ethane, and n-Butane, also separating Ethane from the n-Butane and Propane. Preformed material                and energy balances thermodynamic calculations and cost analysis on the plant. We also chose the                  appropriate material for different parts of the plants depending on the pressure and temperature.

·        Member, American Institute of Chemical Engineers.

·        Member, American chemical society.

·        Interacting with people of various cultures.
