- Simulated free-edge effects and stress concentration in composite laminates used in the aerospace industry numerically and analytically. - Solved optimization problems using numerical calculation methods. - Prepared research proposals about fatigue in lattice structures. - Simulated thermal and moisture absorption effects on the free-edge stress in composite laminates analytically and numerically.

- Developed a novel and optimized numerical/analytical method to determine the ultimate strength of debonded and delaminated composite components under in-plane and out-of-plane deflections. - Analyzed impact and crash on composite laminates containing adhesion layers. - Simulated the failure and damage of composite structures using FEM and fracture analysis.

Developed a hybrid large-scale composite-to-steel balcony overhang in the framework of an EU project and prepared technical reports, proposals, and presentations for international conferences and consortium meetings. - Manufactured and tested prototypes of the balconies and bow enclosures for the partners in the consortium. - Coordinated broad experimental tests on composite components (Tensile, Bending, Buckling, Impact, Fracture, and In-plane compression).

-Managed a project for the water distribution network "Sadra". -Designed urban water distribution networks and water transmission lines. -Interacted with the customers to identify and point out their key needs.

-Managed QC section and designed different car parts using CAE tools. -Designed and manufactured fixtures for the oil pump of cars.
