- Researcher on “Cold Spray of IN718 and Ti-6Al-4V alloys in order to buildup near-net-shap parts” project using strategic grant and with colaboration of National Research Council of Canada (NRC) and Pratt & Witny (Canada).
(In this research, taking advantage of the unique features of the cold spray process characteristics, it is possible to directly fabricate net shape or near net shape components. In addition, the effect of cold spray processing variables, and post-treatments on the properties of cold sprayed Ni and Ti aerospace alloys is investigated, ultimately to optimize the cold spray process for build up applications).
- Involved in “Cool Deformation of Micoralloyed Line Pipe Steels” project, sponsored by IPSCo and Evraz Inc.
- Involved in “Hot Defromation Properties of Mg Alloys”, sponsored by GM.
- A member of team to prepare proposal on “Strain Aging of ASTM A500 Hollow Structural Sections”, Oct 2010.

Ph.D. condidate, 2002-2007 

Department of Mining and Materials Engineering, McGill University, Montreal, QC, Canada

“Effect of Very High Temperature Deformation on the Incidence of Transverse Cracking of Continuously Cast HSLA Steels”, Sponsored by Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council (NSERC) of Canada and IPSCo steel making company, USA
(In this study, a peritectic steel was melted in-situ and the hot ductility trough was quantified at temperatures ranging from 700 to 1100 °C. It was also subjected to very high temperature deformation in the single phase austenite region (1400-1300 °C) during cooling from the solidus temperature. It was noticed that such deformation can improve the hot ductility, which could alleviate cracking problem during continuous casting).
