Aspiring mechanical engineer with expertise in textile sciences.
PakistanWhat I'm looking for
I am a dedicated and passionate mechanical engineer with a strong academic background, holding a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Central Punjab, where I graduated with a Gold Medal. My education has been complemented by various internships and research experiences, allowing me to apply theoretical knowledge to practical scenarios. I have a keen interest in textile sciences, currently pursuing a Master of Science in Textile Sciences and Engineering at Ghent University.
Throughout my academic journey, I have engaged in significant research projects, including my work as a Research Assistant at the University of Central Punjab, where I focused on springback control in sheet metal formability. My internships at leading engineering firms have equipped me with hands-on experience in manufacturing processes, material analysis, and engineering design. I am proficient in various software tools such as ANSYS, SolidWorks, and MATLAB, which enhance my ability to contribute effectively to engineering projects.
