I have a PhD in Mechanical Engineering and a M.Sc. in physics, both from Wichita State University, Wichita, KS, USA, with core postgraduate courses in the area of materials engineering/physics.

I am committed to teaching and research and cross departmental collaboration in both physics and engineering and I am committed to excellence in working in the academia as well as in the industry. I have the ability to lead projects and direct and supervise scientists and engineers. As a teaching philosophy, my role as a professor is one of an educator and a facilitator. I believe in creating cooperation between the students and myself with a welcoming of discussions on various topics of interests or areas for debate or question regarding the issue in hand and the material being discussed. I de-emphasize memorization and stress on understanding. Memorization comes as a consequence to understanding the material. While the curriculum should be interdisciplinary and various learning venues are emphasized, the course outline is the guideline for the completion of the course. The instructor is an important resource in the learning process.
