About
I am a mechanical engineer who completed my undergraduate degree in Mechanical Engineering in 2016 at the University of Engineering and Technology Taxila, Pakistan. During my final year of undergraduate studies, I focused on a project titled "Aeroelastic Analysis of a Streamlined Bridge Deck Section." My dedication and efforts in this project were recognized.
Subsequently, I was honored with a fellowship to pursue my Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering at the Pakistan Institute of Engineering and Applied Sciences (PIEAS), and I successfully obtained my Master's degree in 2018. My Master's research project centered around "Theoretical and Experimental Analysis of Energy Absorption in Thin Elastic Circular Plates under Forced Vibrations."
After completing my Master's, I transitioned to the industry, where I gained valuable experience as an HVAC engineer over the course of nearly five years. During this time, I contributed to HVAC and firefighting system design and implementation in a variety of commercial and residential buildings.
In May 2023, I embarked on a new academic journey by joining the University of Alberta as a Ph.D. scholar. My current research focus lies in the field of biomechanics, where I am an active member of the Neuromuscular Control and Biomechanics Lab (NCBL).
