Hot Deformation lab manager, Department of Mining and Materials Engineering, McGill University, Montreal, QC, Canada   

*Visitng Researcher, 2007- 2011                                                                                                                             

Industrial Materials Institution (IMI), NRC , Beacherville, Canada

- 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.
