Dr. Aman M.I Bin Mamat

About

With over a decade of hands-on experience in mechanical engineering, specializing in gas turbines, turbocharging systems, and energy recovery technologies, I have developed a robust skill set in maintaining, troubleshooting, installing, and training on specialized industrial and scientific equipment. My work spans academic research, industry collaborations, and technical leadership, with a focus on optimizing performance and efficiency in energy recovery systems.

Key Technical Expertise
Gas Turbines & Turbochargers:

Designed and tested low-pressure turbines for electric turbocompounding in automotive applications (e.g., US Patent US9708913 B2 for a high-performance turbine wheel).

Conducted CFD analysis and experimental validation of mixed-flow turbocharger turbines under pulsating flows (Imperial College London, 2010–2012).

Developed prototypes for exhaust energy recovery, including a dual-stage cooling assembly for internal combustion engines (Malaysian Patent PI2019003918).

Diagnostics & Troubleshooting:

Led performance analysis of turbocharged engines with water injection systems, resolving combustion inefficiencies (published in IAES International Journal of Robotics and Automation, 2022).

Optimized Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) condensers for waste heat recovery, addressing thermal transfer challenges in industrial settings.

Equipment & Software Proficiency:

GT-Power: Simulated hydrogen engine performance (1D modeling).

ANSYS/CFD: Analyzed aerodynamic designs for turbines and UAVs.

LabVIEW/Matlab: Engine control system modeling (e.g., water injection charge cooling).

Notable Projects
Electric Turbo Compounding System (2016–2019):

Spearheaded a RM207,000 MoE-funded project to prototype an energy recovery system for gasoline engines, improving fuel efficiency by 8–12%.

HyBoost Project (UK TSB, 2009–2011):

Collaborated with Imperial College London to integrate turbo compounding in hybrid vehicles, reducing CO₂ emissions.

Thermal Management for PEM Fuel Cells:

Resolved overheating in fuel cells using Al₂O₃ nanofluids, documented in International Journal of Heat and Mass Transfer (2018).

Training & Knowledge Transfer
Accredited HRDC Trainer: Developed technical workshops on turbomachinery and energy recovery for engineers.

Postgraduate Supervision: Guided 10+ MSc/PhD students in turbine design, engine performance, and CFD (e.g., GT-Power simulations for hydrogen engines).

Technical Manuals: Authored protocols for turbine maintenance and ORC system troubleshooting.

Certifications & Affiliations
Chartered Engineer (IMechE, UK, 2020).

ISO Standards: Applied in prototyping and testing (e.g., SAE Technical Paper 2020-01-1011).

Conclusion
My career merges academic rigour with industrial pragmatism, emphasising hands-on problem-solving in gas turbine and turbocharging systems. From patented innovations to training the next generation of engineers, I bridge theoretical research with real-world applications to advance energy efficiency technologies.
