Industrial Experience

I was an intern at Windecker Inc. in Reno, NV, USA, prior to and after completion of my BS degree in Engineering Physics at the University of Nevada, Reno, NV, USA. At Windecker Inc. I was assisting a Polymer Chemist in the research and development of Kevlar Fiber. Further, I was an intern at Linear Instruments Corp. (Spectral Physics Analytical) in Reno, NV, USA while working toward my MS degree at the University of Nevada, Reno (UNR) in 1990-1992. In this company, I built an Op-Amp circuitry to amplify signals associated with a laser light scattering phenomenon and was involved in the development of a prototype of High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC). Part of our research results in this company was published in the Journal of Analytical Chemistry in the USA in 1996. I worked as a Senior Training Specialist, Training Superintendent and exploration Geophysicist, at Denver based Newmont Gold Company; and Rio Tinto Gold Company from 1993-1998 in Indonesia. I was stationed in East Kalimantan, North Sulawesi and Batu Hijau (on the Island of Sumbawa).

 

Teaching experience

I taught at President University during the period of 2003-2009. I was a teaching assistant (TA) in the Physics Department at Texas Tech University (TTU) while attending the graduate programs. I taught Physics laboratory to at least 800 TTU engineering students during such a time period. In addition, I taught a Calculus based Physics recitation to one group of TTU Honor engineering students. I attended a post doctoral (PostDoc) program at Howard Payne University (HPU) in Brownwood, TX, USA for 3 years. At this university I built an Engineering Science laboratory from a scratch and taught Electric Circuits, Microelectronic Circuits, AutoCAD, LabView, Mechanics of Materials, and Dynamics. I was appointed as the Director of the Engineering Science Program during my service at this university.
