Curriculum Vitae Farooq Ahmed Email ID: [email protected], Mobile no: +82-1044964895 Profile A dedicated academician with 9 years of teaching and research experience in the field of Mechanical Engineering. Education August 2020: Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering School of Mechanical Engineering Yeungnam University, South Korea Specialization: Machining of hard materials, cutting tool material, thermal aspect of machining, Tool wear analysis, optimization, and design of experiments. Thesis title: “Grain size and tool geometry selection to enhance the machinability of hard materials”. Brief description: Finite element analysis of machining process followed by comprehensive experimental validations of the findings with the objective of developing the cutting tool with enhanced machining performance. Tool material with reduced grain size was used to fabricate the cutting tools and evaluate the cutting efficiency of the tool in terms of cutting forces, tool temperature and wear. Geometry of the tool was also optimized with the objective of minimization of cutting forces, tool temperature and rate of wear. The optimized tool geometry was tested under vibration-assisted milling to improve the machinability of hard materials and improve surface quality. April 2014: Master of Technology in Industrial & Production Engineering Department of Mechanical Engineering Aligarh Muslim University, India Thesis title: Casting of Metal Matrix Composites and analysis of their Mechanical properties. Brief description: Design and Development of experimental set-up for the stir-casting process followed by fabrication of metal matrix composite samples. Analysis of the effect of process parameters on mechanical properties of Metal matrix composites. July 2010: Bachelor of Engineering (Mechanical Engineering) Department of Mechanical Engineering Aligarh Muslim University, India Thesis title: Design and analysis of Antilock braking system for a four wheel automobile. Brief description: Design of the antilock braking system for the four wheel automobile and analysis of the design to assure the working efficiency by testing under different driving conditions.
