Current Research: Experiential Engineering Education via Innovation and Invention. Focus on the Technical Design, Energy System, and Medical Engineering (MedEng) Design Innovations via Prototyping and Proof of Concept. Past Research: High-Temperature Superconductors, Two-Dimensional Electron Gas, and Engineering Physics Education.
Engineering education with a focus on differentiated curricula. Transportation engineering with a focus on alternative intersection designs. In my current role as a teaching-focused faculty I am not taking on any graduate students at this time.
