Materials Scientist & Engineer | High-Entropy Carbides · COMSOL Simulation · MEMS Fabrication

Profile Summary

I am a PhD candidate in Materials Science at Tallinn University of Technology, with 6+ years of hands-on experience across powder metallurgy, high-entropy carbide synthesis, MEMS sensor fabrication, and embedded systems engineering. My research focuses on green processing routes for High-Entropy Carbides and composite hardmetals, with 6 peer-reviewed publications and 1 granted patent. Beyond academia, I have co-founded two engineering ventures, designed and built lab-scale equipment from scratch (extruder, muffle furnace, CNC laser), and led funded research projects at NUST Pakistan. I offer consulting and freelance services in materials characterisation, COMSOL multiphysics simulation, technical writing, literature reviews, CAD modelling (SolidWorks / Solid Edge), and experimental design. I work precisely, communicate clearly, and deliver on time.
