several were carried out to full scale plants. § Authored feasibility studies for several emerging industrial firms. § Acted as a consultant for several firms and groups for technical, quality control and management assistance. § Presented several reports about R&D in the fields of Science and Technology at colleges and universities in Palestine. § Co-authored a report with recommendations to develop R&D in Palestine § Developed an Internet-based network of scientists and technologist worldwide to help socio-economic activities in the Middle East. | | 2/1990-7/1992, Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, CA, USA Member of Technical Staff § Experimentally (biaxially) tested samples of the Space Shuttle solid rocket motor at various temperatures to mechanically characterize the non-linear viscoelastic properties of the material. § Designed and built a novel biaxial frame to incorporate samples at various major-to-minor strain-rate ratios. § Authored several reports related to the mechanical characterization of visco-elastic and heterogeneous materials. § Designed processes to chemically and mechanically age the samples to be tested. | | 2/1982-6/1990, Department of Chemical Engineering, University of Southern California, Los Angeles, CA, USA. Research Assistant § Developed a code that simulates the shear flow and shear-induced volume changes of granular materials under periodic boundary conditions for the purpose of developing a constitutive equation for such materials. § Designed and built a rotating-disk electrode apparatus for the electrochemical study of the AC/DC (low/high Peclet number) conductivities of suspensions of ion exchange resin under shear. § Designed and built equipment to electrochemically coat materials according to needed specifications. § Deigned and built apparatus to study both mass and heat transfer in rotating discs using electrolytic systems. | | 9/1980-9/1981, Amara Engineering Co., Ramallah, Palestine Design Engineer § Designed and supervised the installation of domestic and industrial heating/cooling systems. | | 6/1978-8/1979, Ramallah Secondary School, Ramallah, Palestine Science Teacher § Taught chemistry and supervised laboratory for high school students. | Education | 1982-1990, University of Southern California, Los Angeles, CA § Ph.D. in Chemical engineering. § Thesis: Mechanical and Transport Properties of Granular Material. | 1978-1979, University of Bradford, Bradford, UK § M.SC. in Chemical engineering. § Thesis: Heat Transfer in Plate Heat Exchangers. | 1974-1977, Bir Zeit University, Ramallah, Palestine § B.Sc.
