I am a Senior Laboratory Engineer in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the Petroleum Institute in Abu Dhabi. I am working towards my doctorate degree in Education Technology at the School of Education, Northcentral University.

Teaching

During spring 2012 I am the laboratory co-instructor for MEEG275 Basic Measurements Laboratory. Additionally, I am teaching data acquisition techniques using LabVIEW as part of MEEG376 Core Measurement Laboratory.

In the past, I have been the laboratory co-instructor for MEEG 438 Introduction to Measurements and Instrumentation and STPS 201 Strategies for Team-Based Engineering Problem Solving I.
