About Me

I started as an Assistant Professor of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Mary in 2018. I primarily teach courses in the fields of System Dynamics, Control Systems, and Thermo-fluids.

Why I’m At Mary

I value the university's mission and the practical, hands-on approach of the engineering program.

Expertise

My research experience has been in the fields of bio-inspired robotics, dynamics, controls, and energy harvesting.
