Dr.
Nadimul Haque Faisal
Research Associate and Lecturer
Curriculum Vitae
Dr. Nadimul Haque Faisal is Research Associate and Lecturer of Mechanical
Engineering at Alfaisal University, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. He assumed his duties
in June 2010.
Previously he was working as a Teaching Fellow at Department of Mechanical
Engineering, University of Strathclyde, Glasgow, UK, during September 2009 to
March 2010. Interestingly, he was teaching mechanical dissection of a scrap
motor car to first year students, which included explaining the physics,
materials, manufacturing methods and metallographic examination of functional
mechanical components.
During the period of obtaining his PhD from Heriot-Watt University, Edinburgh,
UK, in January 2010, he worked on several other collaborative and consultancy
project in areas related to non-destructive testing, mechanical testing and
materials characterization. During his doctoral work, Dr. Faisal was engaged in
the application of acoustic emission (AE) analysis for quality assessment of
thermally sprayed coatings. He was awarded the Postgraduate Research award from
the Heriot-Watt University for two consecutive years in recognition of his
academic achievements.
Prior to his doctoral studies, he worked as a Junior Research Fellow between
November 2001 to June 2003 at the Surface Engineering Division (now named Centre
for Engineered Coatings), International Advanced Research Centre for Powder
Metallurgy and New Materials (ARCI), Hyderabad, India. His work at ARCI mainly
included performance evaluation of electro-spark coated twist drills. He
obtained his first degree (BSc Engineering, Mechanical) with distinction from
Magadh University, India, in March 2001.
Dr. Faisal has spent a significant portion of his career in interdisciplinary
research in areas related to surface engineering, coatings, non-destructive
testing, mechanical and materials characterization using various tools. He has
particular interest in understanding the micromechanical behavior of materials
using instrumented indentation and acoustic emission. Other research interests
include instrumentation; signal processing; Neutron diffraction to study
residual strain; ultrasonic testing; finite element modelling; and molecular
dynamics simulations. He is a member of the Institute of Materials, Minerals &
Mining (IoM3) and Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), UK.
