Teaching
I am truly passionate about teaching and see it as both a privilege and a responsibility to help prepare the next generation of engineers and innovators. My teaching style is hands-on and student-focused, built around encouraging curiosity, critical thinking, and real-world problem solving. I believe students learn best when they are actively engaged, so I use project-based and problem-based learning to make the material more meaningful and applicable. I also prioritize creating an open, supportive classroom environment where students feel comfortable giving feedback, and I regularly adjust my approach to better support their learning.
Control Systems ECE/ME 7/872
(Spring 2025)
Development of advanced control system design concepts such as Nyquist analysis; lead-lag compensation; state feedback; parameter sensitivity; controllability; observability; introduction to non-linear and modern control. Includes interactive computer-aided design and real-time digital control.
Ocean Instrumentation Lab OE 610
(Spring 2024-25)
An investigation of basic ocean sensors including temperature, pressure, and salinity; their calibration; the use of both passive and active electrical components for signal conditioning; data acquisition; serial communications; and embedded microcontrollers for system integration and data logging.
Electric Circuits ECE 541
(Fall 2025)
Linear passive circuits beginning with resistive circuits, power and energy relations, mesh and node analysis. Transient and steady-state behavior of simple circuits containing energy storage elements (capacitors, inductors). Introduction to linear active circuits using dependent source models and ideal op amps. Introduction to transfer function and frequency response concepts.
