Biography
I’m a passionate Research Engineer with over 10 years of experience in the steel industry, specializing in Oil and Gas applications, advanced materials, and metallurgical design. My work focuses on developing innovative steel alloys and optimizing high-strength materials for extreme environments, especially those exposed to corrosion, high-temperature, and high-pressure conditions.
I’ve had the opportunity to work on everything from designing Advanced Ultra High Strength Steels (A-UHSS) to conducting corrosion testing for harsh environments like NACE and H2S. My research interests also include studying material degradation mechanisms like stress-corrosion cracking (SCC), hydrogen attack, nitriding, and temper embrittlement using optical microscopy and other metallographic techniques.
Outside of work, I love to cook and bake, it's a great way to unwind and experiment with creativity in the kitchen..
