PetroKavir-Mahan Company - Kerman, Iran                                        Sep 2018 – Dec 2022

• From the Brilliant Talent Office at University side, he transitioned into an industry-university collaboration role as a research project manager at Petrokavir Company, where he translated scientific insights into practical projects.

• As project manager, he successfully identified and confirmed an 11.5 million-ton semianthracite thermal coal reservoir, valued at billions of pounds, and was honored to receive a special appreciation letter from the National Coal Company.

• His economic geology research-based proposal, blending machine learning, spatial analysis, spectroscopy, and petrogenesis, secured board investment and led to the discovery of three high-potential districts for copper and gold mineralization.

• Produced a comprehensive spatial database encompassing mining sites, industrial zones, geological base units, geochemical anomalies, and soil/water contaminations.

• Identified high-potential areas for Iron, Copper, Lead, and Zinc mineralization, offering strategic insights using advanced Fuzzy integration methods in GIS. 

• Mapped contamination trends for Lead and Zinc, originating from natural mineralized rock units affecting several villages. Using advanced fishnet sampling and interpolation methods.

• Created a spectral library from 18 crucial rock units in Kerman, establishing a significant spectral database for future Earth observation studies.
