Materials engineering consulting
Abdul Rahman consults remotely for engineering, manufacturing and R&D teams in the United States and worldwide. Every engagement starts with a free 30-minute call and a written proposal.
Metallurgical failure analysis consulting
Root-cause analysis of cracked, corroded or worn metal parts: fractography, metallography and chemistry, with a clear report on what failed, why, and what to change.
SEM/EDS and XRD data interpretation
Send your SEM images, EDS spectra or XRD patterns and get phase identification, Rietveld refinement and a written interpretation your team can act on.
Materials informatics and machine learning for R&D
Machine learning models, Bayesian optimization and CALPHAD modeling that predict properties from composition and processing, so you run fewer experiments.
Battery recycling and critical minerals
Direct recycling and relithiation of NMC lithium-ion cathodes, and characterization-led beneficiation of low-grade ores.
Corrosion and protective coatings
Corrosion kinetics, electrochemical testing data and machine learning-guided design of self-healing protective coatings.
