What I'm looking for

I’m seeking an industrial engineering role where I can apply simulation and characterization to improve processes, quality, and products. I want to support measurable gains through problem-solving, continuous improvement, and strong technical reporting.

I’m a Metallurgical and materials engineer with hands-on experience across advanced materials engineering, additive manufacturing, and applied research. I combine materials simulation (Thermo-Calc/CALPHAD, COMSOL Multiphysics, Abaqus/FEA) with practical characterization (SEM, XRD) and mechanical testing (tensile and hardness) to solve real materials and process challenges.

In my current Laboratory Research Assistant role, I run materials experiments to deliver accurate, repeatable results while maintaining full laboratory safety and compliance. I’ve also streamlined workflows to reduce sample-processing bottlenecks and supported data reliability through statistical analysis; earlier, as a 3D Printer Operator, I optimized print readiness and quality control, reducing failures and waste. I’m now seeking an industrial engineering role where my technical fundamentals help improve processes, quality, and products with measurable impact.
