M. Bilal Nutkani is working since 2018 at
COMSATS University, Islamabad, Pakistan. During this time, he has taught these
labs courses i.e., Engineering
Mechanics, Mechanics of Materials, Mechanisms and Mechanical vibrations,
Internal Combustions Engines, and Power Plants laboratories. Besides
teaching, Bilal has been a part of the important research work in Mechanical department
under the project titled “Design and Development of Innovative Impact
Resistant Hybrid Structures based on Super Elastic Shape Memory Alloys and
Light Weight Lattice” This project was funded by Pakistan Science
Foundation (PSF) and collaboration with National Science Foundation China
(NSF). This project aimed to design a
high-performance multi-layered impact resistance structure to satisfy the
lightweight and high protective performance requirements of commercial and
defense applications. M Bilal has been involved in the development of infrastructure
and testing facilities for the project and his contribution was acknowledged in the infrastructure and technology development i.e.
a. Establishing DLP-based advanced 3D printing facility
b. Indigenous development of Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar
(SHPB) test facility
c. High Performance Computational Laboratory
d. Drop weight impact test (DWIT) setup
In addition to project
work M Bilal also worked on additive manufacturing focusing on the
development of 3D printed lattice structure of polymers and metallic for
testing with compression, impact and energy absorption behavior by performing
material characterization. Outcome of this research work includes two impact
factor publications and six conference papers. M. Bilal worked in a consulting and
contracting company from 2016 to 2017 as site engineer.
