I am a mechanical engineer who has a combination of industrial and academic experience. I graduated in December 2017 with a Ph.D. in mechanical engineering from the University of Missouri-Columbia. My area of teaching and research interest is control and modeling of systems, especially for fluid power systems. I have two years experience in working in a power plant. The work included the erection and commissioning of a 230 MW power plant. The work was completed as contracted and in a timely manner. I also worked as a research assistant for four years in the fluid power Lab in the University of Missouri. In addition, I have three years of teaching experience undergraduate courses including Fluid Mechanics, Dynamic Systems and Control, Thermodynamics, Calculus I and II, and Differential Equations. I have several publications refereed journals and conferences in the area of Fluid power, Automatic and Robust Control, and CFD Analysis.
