About

Hi, I'm Musaddiq. I am a trilingual Iraqi/Japanese multidisciplinary engineer with expertise in mechanical engineering, electromagnetism and laser technology, numerical methods, multiscale finite element analysis, and optimization techniques. With a Ph.D. in Structural Innovation and Optimization, I have gained valuable experience in mechanical design, heat transfer, and piezoelectric devices. I have worked in several capacities, including as a post-doctoral researcher at Toyota Technological Institute-Nagoy-Japan and as a design and validation engineer at SHARP Corporation. My experience also includes teaching and mentoring undergraduate and postgraduate students in various projects. I am proficient in programming languages such as MATLAB, C, VBA, and Python and have long experience with several CAD software for electrical and mechanical engineering. Additionally, I possess excellent communication and interpersonal skills and can effectively communicate complex technical information to diverse audiences.
