Professional

I am currently an Associate Professor of Engineering Management at University of Houston - Clear Lake.  


I teach face-to-face, hybrid, and fully online graduate courses for both the Engineering Management and the Systems Engineering Program. In addition to teaching, I also conduct research on 3 main areas: engineering education, engineering management, and engineering specialties. 


I am also involved in program development and management, advising and mentoring students on their academic degrees and future careers, and strategic planning activities for the program.
