Hello, my name is Omar, and I am a chemical engineer with over 14 years of experience in technology development and process optimization. I hold a Ph.D. and an M.S. in Chemical Engineering from the University of Pittsburgh and Texas A&M University, respectively. My career has spanned roles in both academia and industry, including positions at Anellotech Inc. and North Carolina A&T State University.

Currently, I lead ONB Engineering Research and Technical Services, focusing on data-driven technology development for startups and mid-sized companies. I am passionate about mentoring young engineers and have been recognized as one of the AIChE’s Top 35 Under 35.

Outside of work, I enjoy traveling, outdoor activities, and continuous learning. I have had the pleasure of collaborating with Chinese researchers and students, gaining valuable insights into the innovative work being done in China.

I look forward to sharing my experiences and learning from all of you.

大家好，我的名字是Omar，我是一名化學工程師，在技術開發和流程優化方面擁有超過14年的經驗。我分別在匹茲堡大學和德州農工大學獲得化學工程博士學位和碩士學位。我的職業生涯跨越了學術界和工業界的角色，包括在Anellotech Inc.和North Carolina A&T State University的職位。目前，我領導ONB工程研究和技術服務，專注于初創公司和中型公司的數據驅動技術開發。我對指導年輕工程師充滿熱情，并被公認為AIChE 35歲以下35強之一。工作之余，我喜歡旅游、戶外活動和不斷學習。我很高興與中國的研究人員和學生合作，對中國正在進行的創新工作獲得了寶貴的見解。我期待著與大家分享我的經驗，并向大家學習。

I served on the admission committees for MS and PhD programs in Chemical and Petroleum Engineering at the University of Pittsburgh (while working as a PhD student and Postdoc), and for BS, MS and PhD programs in Chemical Engineering and Nano-engineering.

我在匹茲堡大學擔任化學與石油工程碩士和博士課程的招生委員會成員（同時擔任博士研究生和博士后），以及化學工程和納米工程學士、碩士和博士課程的招生委員會成員。

While at North Carolina A&T State University (as a faculty member), this involved reviewing application packages, which includes essays and other supporting documents. I was also the chair of the undergraduate curriculum committee at North Carolina A&T university where we set standards for admission into the program.

在北卡羅萊納州農工州立大學作為教員期間。我的工作包括審查申請材料，包括文書和其他申請文件。我也是北卡羅來納農工大學本科課程委員會的主席，我們在那里制定了項目的入學標準。

Additionally, I served as an advisor and reviewer to NSF’s graduate research fellowship program for 2 years, which involved advising undergraduate students on how to develop their application packages in preparation for the fellowship.

此外，我還擔任了2年NSF研究生研究獎學金項目的顧問和審稿人，其中包括建議本科生如何開發他們的申請材料，為獎學金做準備。

I have helped many of my students gain admission for graduate programs in the US, some notable programs are Duke University Chemistry Ph.D., Columbia University Chemical Engineering Ph.D., University of Pennsylvania MBA, Cornell University MBA, University of Texas at Austin Ph.D. in both Chemical and Petroleum Engineering, University of Illinois Urbana Champaigne in Chemical Engineering

我幫助我的許多學生獲得了美國研究生課程的錄取，其中一些著名的項目是杜克大學化學博士，哥倫比亞大學化學工程博士，賓夕法尼亞大學MBA，康奈爾大學MBA，德克薩斯大學奧斯汀分校化學和石油工程博士，伊利諾伊大學厄巴納香檳分校化學工程
