 Graduation Project: Improvement of the Manufacturing Process of Stamping Steel
 Metallurgical study about the Influence of high heating ratio, small soaking times on an Aluminum Killed Steel in addition to the hardness measurement, grain size & mechanical properties
 The improvement was obtained by proposing a shorter annealing cycle with smaller soaking times

Internship: Improve the Philips Rotary Shavers using a virtual shaving model
based on FEM simulation of the skin numerical model in shaving
process

Complete the skin numerical model by mechanically modeling the skull, and the realistic boundary condition of the Face.

Simulation of the skin deformation on Mentat MARC.

Validating the numerical model of the face by comparing the resulting stiffness to the experimental one.
