As an Assistant Teaching Professor in the Michael W. Hall School of Mechanical Engineering, I focus on delivering engaging and effective instruction. My teaching emphasizes hands-on learning, critical thinking, and practical applications to prepare students for engineering challenges.
My research primarily focuses on leveraging computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to model fluid-structure interactions and develop mathematical models to optimize and control flow structures in high-speed boundary layers. Recently, I’ve developed a strong interest in integrating Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) into fluid dynamics applications, exploring how these advanced technologies can enhance fluid behavior predictions and control strategies in complex engineering systems.
I actively contribute to the university through program coordination roles, including serving as Co-Graduate Coordinator for the Mechanical Engineering program and as Student Recruitment and Support Coordinator for MSU’s Moroccan program. These roles align with my commitment to fostering a supportive and inclusive environment for student success.
