Mechanical Engineer

To Pursue Challenging and Innovative Research in the Field of Fluid Mechanics, Energy and Heat Transfer with practical mechanical measurements, simulation, and mathematical modeling.

Summer 2007, Job Training in the Shiraz Combined Cycle Power Plant, Shiraz-Iran.
Job Training (1):
I have trained in Shiraz Combined Cycle Power Plant for three months in the summer. First, I
had some classes about the fundamental information about the Gas Turbine, Steam Turbine,
Cooling Tower, Pumps, Compressors, Boiler and some other utilities of the power plant.
Second I had some training in the working environment and became familiar with the maintenance and repairing of the devices.
. Summer 2009, Job Training in the PIDEC Company, Shiraz-Iran.
Job Training (2):
I have trained in Petrochemical Industrial Design Engineering Company (PIDEC) in Shiraz
for three months in summer. I was in the Rotary Department which was in relationship with designing of Pumps, Turbines, Turbojets, Cranes, and Compressors and so on. First I became familiar with the fundamental information on these devices and then I worked under the supervision of the trainer on their plans and how to fit and design them in a system (like a plant).
