Biography

Dr. Hussain has bachelors in Mechanical Engineering from NED University of Engineering & Technology, Karachi in 1989. After completing the Masters in Nuclear Engineering from Quaid-e-Azam University, Islamabad, Pakistan, he joined Karachi Institute of Power Engineering in 1991 which is an affiliated with PIEAS, Islamabad. Dr. Hussain was associated with this institute as a faculty member and researcher until 2010. In 2002, he was awarded Commonwealth Scholarship for Ph.D in Mechanical Engineering. During my Ph.D, he had designed and fabricated my combustion test rig and did a number of experiments on that rig for low grade coal combustion and gasification. During his stay in Malaysia, he was involved in a number of research projects for state owned giants like SIRIM Berhad and Tenaga Nasional Berhad. Dr Hussain moved to Saudi Arabia in December 2010 and have worked for King Abdul University at Jeddah Campus for about five years during which he acquired research funding for various research projects whose details will follow later in his resume. Dr. Hussain has recently got a US patent accepted a patent number has been issued. After his return to Pakistan in 2016, he joined as Tenure Track Professor at NED University, Karachi. Dr. Hussain has more than 2 years of post Ph.D experience and a total teaching experience of 27 years.

During his stay at King Abdulaziz University, Jeddah, KSA, he worked as Advisor Research for two years. During this period he organized the research publications work at KAU which helped the University to climb up in QS Rankings. A number of grants were also secured during this period. Later on I was actively involved in the ABET accreditation process. Worked as Director, ORIC at SZABIST, Karachi. A number of startups were initiated our which were supported by private companies. Also handling a grant of about 81 Million Pak Rupees on Predictive Analytics Lab. SZABIST has won a TDF grant of 14 M to make documentaries Highlighting H.E.C/T.D.F Success Stories. This is the video documentary project. Currently working as Professor, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Suffa University, Karachi

27 YEARS OF PROFESSIONAL & ADMINSTRATIVE  EXPERIENCE

Worked for about 20 years at Karachi Nuclear Power Complex which is first installed nuclear power plant of Pakistan. I was involved in addressing design related issues of the plant in addition to teaching professional courses related to Plant. Before coming to Saudi Arabia, I was working as Head, Mechanical at KINPOE/PIEAS.

27 YEARS OF PROFESSIONAL & ADMINSTRATIVE  EXPERIENCE

1. Ph.D. Research Project on Circulating Fluidized Bed Coal Combutor

The purpose of this study is to investigate the hydrodynamic behavior and thermo chemical performance of biomass and coal blends in a Circulating Fluidized Bed (CFB), which is an upcoming technology in Malaysia. Thermochemical studies for palm shell wastes and coal blends were done in a hot circulating fluidized-bed (CFB) test rig, installed at SIRIM Berhad, Shah Alam,

2. Consultation Work For SIRIM Berhad, Malaysia On Municipal Waste Combustion

A consultation work was done for SIRIM Berhad, Shah Alam on the project titled “Computer modelling of a municipal solid waste combustor for different fuel mixtures” from May-July 2004. Numerical simulations of the flow field inside the primary and secondary combustion chambers provided the temperature profiles and the concentration data at the nodal points of computational grids. Parametric study was also done to minimize the NOx emissions.

3. Consultation work for Tenaga Nasional Berhad, Malaysia on Combustion Simulation for Palm Olein Blended Fuel

Work related to experimental and combustion simulation was done for TNB from September 2004 – April 2005 on a project titled “Experimental and simulations studies of combustion test firing of blended palm olein-distillate oil in laboratory combustion test rig”.  As far as the temperature distribution, flame structure and NOx emissions are concerned; it is not useful that the palm olein blending should be used in excess of 40%. For high blended fuel, the excessive soot particles may cause damage to turbine blades.

 4. Consultation Work for SIRIM Berhad, Malaysia on Combustion Studies of Oil Palm Shell Waste

A joint research project is being initiated in June 2005 between Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, UTM and SIRIM Berhad, Shah Alam to investigate efficient combustion method for solid wastes in Malaysia. Circulating fluidized-bed technology is considered to be one of the most suitable techniques to thermally convert different fuels into useful energy. The purpose of the tests is to investigate the suitability of the selected fuels for energy production using CFBC while taking care of the flue gas emissions.

5. Quality Assurance Criteria For Managers In Energy Sector

This research was done to develop energy conservation culture in our society and also prepare manpower for designated posts such as energy officers, energy auditors and energy managers. The importance of energy management and conservation will help to withstand nation in upcoming competitive industrialized global environment. Certification methodology for energy officers, energy auditors and energy managers is designed particularly for Pakistani working environment along with the accreditation of institutes in private sector which will provide training and carry out official energy audits.

6. Nuclear Desalination

There is a grown interest in the area of nuclear desalination i.e., the production of freshwater via seawater desalination using nuclear energy using nuclear generating units. A number of countries are currently engaged in this activity. A nuclear desalination demonstration facility (4,500 m3/d MED coupled to a PHWR) in Karachi, Pakistan is currently working under testing phase. Techno-economic feasibilities are being done to make nuclear desalination a viable option is being done now which is important for coastal countries, which are suffering or will soon suffer serious water shortages.

RESEARCH GRANTS

 The following funded projects were done during my stay at King Abdul Aziz University.

1- Energy Management Studies of Faculty of Engineering at King Abdul Aziz University, Rabigh, Saudi Arabia (SR 50,000 KAU Funded Project, Already Completed)

2-Pyrolysis and devolatization behavior of Palm dates wastes (KAU Funding available – SR 50,000, Completed)

3-Pyrolysis process development and surface chemical treatment of palm wastes based activated carbon to improve its adsorption capacity in industrial wastewater treatment process (KACST Funded Project – 2 Million SR)

4-Hydrodynamic and fluidization behavior in a Circulating Fluidized Bed Riser (KAU Funding Available – SR 50,000, Completed)
