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, and am eager to network and collaborate with industry professionals in projects of mutual interest. I am working with a student team on the design and construction of a laboratory-scale, interchangeable heat exchanger system and solar charging station 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.
