ACHIEVEMENTS, RESEARCH, LECTURES AND SKILLS
1- Industrial applications, mostly related to material’s science and more specifically to structure, properties, processing, and performance of metal alloys, polymers, ceramics and composites. Computer simulation methods in these cases are used to solve relevant equations such as heat transfer equations to account for the proper use of these materials in situ. This includes steel arc welding, aluminum alloys microstructure optimization, resole or epoxy composites manufacturing and performance, heat sink design and manufacturing, corrosion and cathodic protection of oil pipelines…etc.
2- Theoretical research covers areas of electronic structure of covalent and zinc-blend semiconductors, mainly using semiempirical Hartree-Fock theory. Semiempirical theory in my work is applied to nanophysics, the effect of pressure and temperature on semiconductors band structure, and ab-initio molecular and atomic calculations. My theoretical research also covers some areas of nuclear and plasma physics.
3- University lectures are usually given to postgraduate students during their first year of preparation. Student-centered lectures mostly include part of my book under preparation: “COMPUTER MODELING AND SIMULATION IN SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING’”. The lectures prepare students to write detailed programs in their fields of specialization. University work also includes the supervision of 15 postgraduate theses (5 PhD & 10 MSc) & criticizing more than twice this number of researches or postgraduate works.
4- Excellent computer skills that span computer languages (FORTRAN, Visual Basic, Pascal...etc), databases (FoxPro, Clipper…etc), office tools (MS Word, MS Excel, MS PowerPoint, MS FrontPage…etc), graphics (ACAD)…etc.
5- Other training experiences include Principles of Administration, Operational Research, Artificial Intelligence, Quality Control, Industrial and Environmental Safety.
