Ana Maria is a mechanical engineer who, during her studies, made a breakthrough in producing highly energy absorbent materials for the automotive industry. With this achievement, she took Concordia to first place on a province competition for researchers and second place in the national level.

Currently, Ana Maria works for Bombardier as a materials and process engineer for the manufacture of private jets. She recently joined the chapter to continue being active in the community and supporting other engineers

After graduating with distinction from electrical engineering from Concordia, Khaled Murywed shifted his focus to software and built a career around software quality assurance. With roughly 10 years of experience in that domain, Khaled is now focusing on improving both quality and process in the software world.

During his free time, Khaled loves giving, and volunteering back to his community, including being part of Concordia's engineering and computer science alumni chapter, and organizing social events, which is critical to help achieve a work/life balance.

Nazanin finished her bachelors’ degree in Software Engineering as a co-op student and worked in multiple distinctive companies and institutes while finishing her degree. She went back to Concordia to pursue a master’s in information security. She was also an active member of the WIE community as a student and later on at work. Giving back to community and helping other women in engineering to succeed is what drives her to be part of the alumni chapter.
