About Me

I primarily teach material science, structural mechanics, and thermal courses in mechanical engineering. Through coursework, I encourage the students to apply the engineering principles learned throughout the semester implementing them into a design project. I always look forward to collaborating with my colleagues for inter-and-intra disciplinary projects that expand the horizon of my engineering skills and serve the community.

Why I’m At Mary

The unique approach and mission of the engineering program at the University of Mary aligns with my goal of shaping the future of next-generation engineers.

Expertise

My expertise is in the fields of sustainable materials, structural mechanics of composite materials, and artificial intelligence.
