Dubai, United Arab Emirates
Highly developed project management professional with a diverse interest in the fields of autonomous vehicle technology, transport planning and design, mobility pattern discovery and traffic flows and asset and construction management. I am currently conducting research in the policy and decision-making along with infrastructure requirements for implementing a stakeholder-proposed mobility service in form of an autonomous public transport system. As an instructor, I am always interested in instructing students through a teaching outcome-oriented approach to enhance their learning experience. My approach is student centric and directed towards enhancing their readiness for market competitiveness. I engage in applied research for reuse of recycled materials on geotechnical projects and I am also focused on green construction and smart project management approaches such as nD BIM to reduce the economic and environment impact of the construction endeavours. As an avid learner and having a demonstrable industrial career foundation, I am always open to take challenging tasks to enhance my qualification as a professional civil engineer. I have demonstrated the ability to develop objectives, goals and implement research and teaching experience.

In my PhD at Curtin University (Bentley Campus) I researched the non-linear traffic flow patterns within an urban settlement (Abu Dhabi), cost and environmental in/out-flows for a traditional approach and a holistic green approach. In order to answer the research questions, the objective of this study were to go beyond the traditional concrete versus asphalt debate and analyse the sustainability of transportation infrastructure as a system serving a on-demand autonomous public transport fleet of medium to large sized electric/hybrid autonomous vehicles.
Responsibilities • Teaching Deep Foundations and Piling unit course to final-year level students. • Investigation of the behaviour of unsuitable and reactive clays and stabilisation for successful construction of foundations and pavements on such soils. • Study on the behaviour of bentonite clay, its stabilisation for use as a slurry and as a representative soil for expansive soil stabilisation in foundation and pavement engineering. • Investigation of the geotechnical characteristics of expansive soil in Western Australia and stabilisation using additives such as slag and construction waste. The project is being coordinated with reputable companies like Douglas Partners, Coffey, Tabec, Structurre and Cedar Woods. • Teaching Construction Project Management unit course to third-year level students. • Demonstrating laboratory equipment such as drained and undrained triaxial and direct shear equipment, compression testing devices for concrete samples, kilns for brickworks and other specialised equipment to undergraduate students at various programme levels. • Teaching Transportation Engineering unit course to third-year level students. • Conducted workshop on Subsea Field Equipment. Achievements • Devised and implemented the lesson plans and activities to meet the university standards and objectives. • Utilised audio-visual aids, presentations and state of the art software to create 3D/2D models for integrating new technology in the teaching methodology for increasing the quality of the lectures and the overall learning experience. • Instructed students at various levels of the civil engineering programme. • Delivered high-quality learning experience to the students to ensure proper delivery of programme objectives and theoretical understanding to meet the industry’s professional expectations. • Co-designed and coordinated the research projects of honours students.
Job Responsibilities: - Crash Data Analysis: Analyzed crash data to identify patterns and high-risk locations, contributing to the development of safety improvement strategies. - Risk Assessment: Conducted risk assessments on road infrastructure and propose practical safety interventions to enhance road user safety by assisting the road safety audit team. - Stakeholder Collaboration: Worked closely with local governments, consultants, contractors, and other stakeholders to ensure the integration of safety features into road projects. - Safety Improvement Recommendations: Developed and recommended cost-effective road safety improvements, prioritizing locations based on crash data, road user feedback, and site inspections. - Compliance Monitoring: Ensured compliance with national and local road safety guidelines, standards, and regulations in all projects. - Technical Reports: Prepared detailed technical reports outlining findings from audits, data analysis, and safety assessments for internal and external stakeholders. Key Projects: 1. Kwinana Freeway Northbound Widening Project Role: Supported in review of traffic management plans to ensure safety for road users and workers during construction of the freeway widening project. Outcome: Reduced crash rates during construction and ensured safe traffic flow through temporary lane closures and detours. 2. South Coast Highway Realignment (Esperance) Role: Performed a crash data analysis and provided support in road safety audit to identify high-risk sections on the South Coast Highway near Esperance, where realignment was necessary due to poor road geometry. Outcome: Successful implementation of road realignment, resulting in a reduction of high-severity crashes along the previously hazardous stretch of road. 3. Other Projects: Forrest Highway – Safety Review of Intersections, Support in RSA of Albany Ring Road.
