Academic Gold Scholarship in 2012, 2013, 2014, and 2016, with yearly GPAs in the top 1% of the Faculty of Engineering. ? Achieve TD Canada Trust and John M Forbes Bursaries in 2012 with the previous semester’s GPA over 90%.Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC) Doctoral Scholarship from September 2018 to August 2021. The scholarship was given based on my research, social activities, GPA, and volunteer work. ? UR Graduate Scholarship in 2020 Winter. I developed the novel Li+ ion capture process for commercializing to reduce the time producing lithium from brine.Excellent computer and software skills: Microsoft Office, Inventor, SolidWorks, Production Volume Recording (PVR), Gas Facility Recording (GFR), Peloton Wellview, SAP, SCADAVISION, Accumap, DB Reporter, Heavy Oil FDC (Web reports), Pipeflow & Pipesim, Aspen Plus, HYSYS, Solid Edge, Matlab, Minitab, gPROMS, COMSOL Multiphysics, Gaussian, ANSYS.

Research Interest

Research Associate Clean Energy Technologies Research Institute – University of Regina,Chemical and Project Engineer Prairie Lithium Corporation,Thermal Oil Recovery Engineer Husky Energy, Lloydminster, S.K.Managed a CCUS project which was a collaboration between Nagoya University and Mitsubishi. ? Developed temperature swing adsorption (TSA) process to capture CO2. ? Developed a new exchanger unit for the TSA process which could be generally applied for treating greenhouse gas (GHG). ? Planned for calibrating, verifying, and testing the sorbents for the experiments. ? Developed computational fluid dynamic (CFD) for heat, mass, and momentum transfers by COMSOL Multiphysics and Ansys for heat exchanger unit. ? Prepared monthly reports for Mitsubishi and NEDO. ? Optimized the treatment process to minimize the project costs. ? Controlled the cost and budget for the entire project. ? Developed and simulated dehydration process for CO2 adsorption by ProMax and HYSYS
