•Developing design drawings, specification, technical reports, and calculations throughout the project cycles from concept to IFC level for infrastructure projects, that includes MV, LV, Lighting, Telecom, SCADA and ELV networks. •Preparing feasibility studies of smart cities integrated with renewable energy resources.

• Developed detailed construction design drawings for grid-connected rooftop solar PV systems. • Performed simulation for on-grid solar PV systems using PVsyst.

Assisted the professors and laboratory instructors in the instructions and gradings for undergraduate courses in the electrical engineering department (Electric Circuit I, Electric Circuit II, Measurements and Instrument, Control System I, Electric Machines, Power System and Power Engineering).

•Manufactured dye-sensitized and organic solar cells based on lower-cost materials and manufacturing technique. •Obtained all the electrical and optical characterization of solar cells using sun simulator, quantum efficiency measurement system, UV-Vis spectrometer, and Raman spectroscopy. •Prepared silver nanomaterials (nano-sphere, nanowires, and nano-prisms) for surfaced enhanced Raman spectroscopy, and for third-generation solar cells.

Assisted in preparing project proposals for off-grid hybrid solar PV, diesel generators and wind energy systems.

Assisted in off-grid solar PV light tower systems design.
