I enjoy teaching thermal fluid science and control theory, and am always looking to incorporate unique yet practical projects into my courses.  I have research interests in the areas of process dynamics and control, fuel cell systems and thermal fluid engineering education. I am working collaboratively with my colleagues on the design and construction of a laboratory-scale, interchangeable heat exchanger system to be accessible physically and remotely to students for integrative experiential based learning. My projects included, for 3 years, dynamic thermal fluid model development of a regenerative fuel cell system to optimize the power and thermal performance for a wide operating range for deep space missions as part of ISRU technological development efforts by NASA JSC Energy Conversion System Branch. Moreover, for 2 years, I worked on model development of a ceramic transport membrane system for high-purity oxygen production in applications of space missions and global health, supported by NASA JSC Crew and Thermal System Division and Texas Space Grant Consortium. I am a co-inventor of a patent on fuel cell controls and a co-author of several journal and conference publications on model development and system analysis in different applications including fuel cell systems, heat exchangers and residential building energy. I am a member of ASEE.
