Work History
Process Engineer
Synergy Oil & Gas Engineering
Malaysia
10.2025 - Current
- Performed line sizing and brownfield adequacy assessments, ensuring hydraulic compliance (erosional velocity, pressure drop) under revised production conditions.
- Executed steady-state and transient flow assurance simulations in OLGA (incl. slug tracking, turndown, pigging, ramp-up, pipeline shutdown, restart, depressurization) to define operating envelopes, MTDR and assess hydrate and surge risks.
- Generated hydrate curve and phase envelope using PVTsim Nova to support thermodynamic risk evaluation.
- Reviewed and marked up PFDs/P&IDs to reflect hydraulic findings, line sizing and operating limits in accordance with project requirements.
- Consolidated various technical inputs and simulation results into structured engineering reports (such as Design Basis, Flow Assurance Reports), ensuring clarity, traceability and alignment with project objectives.
- Tracked team competency and organized upskilling programs (such as external trainer for simulation software) and engagement activities to foster technical development and collaboration within the engineering team.
Research Assistant
Fraunhofer UMSICHT
Germany
10.2024 - 05.2025
- Investigated catalytic steam reforming of glycerol for syngas production, analyzing reaction performance and product distribution across varying operating conditions.
- Synthesized and prepared Ni- and Pt-based catalysts via controlled wet impregnation and calcination, optimizing metal loading and dispersion.
- Conducted literature reviews to support ongoing research projects and inform experimental design.
- Supported project management by tracking timelines and deliverables for the studies.
- Performed catalyst characterization analyses (ICP-OES, BET, TPR/TPO, XRD) to evaluate metal composition, surface area, reducibility and crystalline structure.
- Designed and conducted steam reforming reaction experiments using pilot reactor, assessing catalyst activity, stability, and deactivation behavior.
- Compiled and documented experimental results into structured technical reports, ensuring clarity, traceability and alignment with research objectives for clients (chemical industry).
Intern
