With more than 32 years of expertise in teaching and research within the field of engineering, I am committed to guiding this institution toward new heights of success and academic distinction.

My journey as an educator and administrator has given me the opportunity to contribute to the academic and research development of numerous students and scholars.

My research portfolio includes 46 international publications, and I have authored 7 textbooks widely used in academia.
