I started a new position as Teaching Faculty (Lecturer) at Santa Clara University (SCU) in Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering. I will be teaching courses in Dynamics, Mechanical Vibrations and Systems Engineering, with some additional activities in the labs. It is exciting to be back at the beautiful campus of SCU that has undergone a major renovation. As someone coming from industry, I am keen to make sure that my students get the personal attention not only in their studies, but to find summer internships and full time jobs when they are ready to graduate.
