Research Assistant
Stantec
https://www.linkedin.com/company/stantec
Collaborated with Stantec Consulting, Inc. in Burlington, MA to progress two new water treatment plants in Parker, CO beyond the 60% design phase. The team's goal was to assess the energy consumption of the proposed water treatment plants and devise greener alternatives to save energy and decrease operational costs for the owner. The final recommendations were intended to provide different design alternatives to Stantec for potential use in the continuation of the water treatment plant project.

London Borough of Hounslow
https://www.linkedin.com/company/london-borough-of-hounslow
The London Borough of Hounslow had a Community Risk Register (CRR) that was confusing and unappealing to the average citizen. The purpose of this project was to update the CRR and create promotional tools for the Hounslow Resilience Forum (HRF) to use. To do this, we assessed various CRRs across the country and revised the Hounslow Multi-Agency CRR to reflect the best practices of those we analyzed. We also created a new community resilience document to educate and inform Hounslow residents about the risks they are most likely to face. Finally, we created a communication plan for the HRF to use to increase awareness about the new community resilience document and emergency preparedness.

Developed correlated projects on AutoCAD and Revit Architecture about real life architectural/structural components, sites and buildings.
AutoCAD and Revit Projects
Completed projects that involved the use of WinJULEA and LTTPBind to determine the radial stresses and strains in road layers under particular conditions, measure the stiffness of hot mix asphalt for roads and airport runways, and study the damage caused by rutting, cracking etc.
Pavement Engineering Projects
Developed correlated projects using AutoCAD Civil 3D, Revit Architecture, Revit Structure and Navisworks about real life sites and buildings.
Building Information Modeling Projects
Performed laboratory experiments to study the physical and chemical properties of aggregates, concrete mix designs, woods, steels, plastics, asphalts etc. Prepared detailed lab reports explaining the methodology employed, presenting the results and conclusions, discussing the work done, comparing it to similar literature etc.
Materials of Construction Labs
Developed projects on traffic volume data collection, level of service of highway segments, turning movement count on intersections, crash rates and safety, enhancing level-of-service, re-timing signals and pavement management. Most projects required extensive use of the Highway Capacity Software.
Transportation and Traffic Engineering Projects
Constructed influence line diagrams for all external and internal forces acting on a truss framework, determined the allowable stresses for each member, calculated the safest pipe size to make the truss, and determined the total cost.
Project on the Structural Analysis and Design of a Truss Framework
Used theodolites to measure angles in different planes. Determined the elevations of different points using levels.
Surveying Labs
Created the design of a new product to help people track lost items. Researched into different factors (market, finances etc). Gave a presentation on the feasibility and the financial model of the proposed idea.

        I worked with Ahsan for about a year on a transmission assets inspection program for a major utility company. I learned a lot from Ahsan and had a great time working with him. Ahsan is diligent, smart, a great communicator and a team player. On this project he worked effectively with people from very different backgrounds and was able to constantly adjust to the stringent requirements of the client while delivering consistent results at the highest quality. Ahsan is an asset for any company, and I would be happy to provide further reference upon request. Heather Blackley
      
          



            
              
        
              
  

    
        In my time working with Ahsan at Black & Veatch he demonstrated expertise in Overhead Transmission Line design. He was easy to work with and took time to explain what and why he was making a change in his design. Ahsan was a pleasure to work with and would be an asset to any team.
