Programme Leader Automotive Engineering
I am a Postdoctorate Fellow of Sorbonne Universities (2015–2017) and an alumnus of Universite Pierre et Marie Curie (Paris VI), Paris, France. I was a PhD candidate at Paris VI from 2007–2011 where I completed my PhD in Electrical and Computer Engineering with distinction. Prior to that, in 2007, I completed my masters in Electronics Engineering with a specialisation in Embedded Systems from University of Nice, France.
I have been working in higher education as a full-time academic since 2011. Over the years, I have taught various modules at the breadth and depth of electrical and computer engineering. Apart from teaching, I have extensive experience in programme design, review, quality assurance, and wider academic management.
I have published several book chapters, refereed journals, and conference papers at the reputed platforms of the domain.
Teaching and supervision
I currently teach:
- Control and Instrumentation (EAT 238)
- Automation for Manufacturing (EAT 240)
- Automotive Dynamics and Control (EAT 325)
- Electronic Systems Design (ELX304)
Project Supervision:
- Final year undergraduate project (ENX313)
- Graduate Project management thesis supervision (ENGM123. ENGM124)
- Degree apprentice final project (EDA309)
