I earned my PhD in mathematics and M.S in Computer Sciences at University of Arkansas, Fayetteville in 2000. Since then, I have been serving as assistant professor and associate professor in mathematics and computing at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University. I taught undergraduate and graduate courses in mathematics, computer sciences, and software engineering. My research interests are partial differential equations, model checking, embedded software applications, and computational sciences and engineering education. I also serve as the adviser of the SIAM student chapter at Embry-Riddle and mentor a team of student researchers in SIAM chapter to build a fleet of autonomous underwater vehicle called Eco-Dolphins.
