Teaching

•  Engineering Optimization (M.Sc.) MECG-7600-T14, F 2020,F 2021,F 2022, University of Manitoba.

        Covered Non gradient-based Optimization Methods and Machine Learning.

• Advanced Smart Materials Course: Developed and delivered a 14-week advanced course on Mechatronics for final-year undergraduate students, focusing on real-world applications. This course received positive feedback, with over 90% of students reporting enhanced understanding of integrated systems and hands-on practice with programmable logic controllers (PLCs) and embedded systems.

• Graduate Seminar on Intelligent Controls: Conducted a seminar series for graduate students centered on the latest advancements in intelligent controls. Through this seminar, students were introduced to applications of artificial intelligence in control systems and its implications in modern engineering.

• Lab Supervision & Development: Oversaw the Controls and Mechatronics Lab, ensuring that students had access to cutting-edge tools and technologies. Furthermore, revamped the laboratory curriculum to integrate more real-world applications, especially in the realm of marine/ocean technology.

• Capstone Project Mentorship: Mentored capstone projects related to autonomous systems.

• Workshop on AI & Machine Learning: Designed a 3-day workshop for both undergraduate and graduate students focusing on the integration of AI and machine learning in mechanical engineering projects. The workshop provided students with hands-on experience in developing and deploying AI models for control systems.

• Collaborative Teaching Initiatives: Collaborated with the marine/ocean technology research group to deliver an interdisciplinary course that combined principles of mechanical engineering with marine technology applications. This fostered a comprehensive understanding for students on how mechatronics plays a role in marine engineering.

• Guest Lectures on Automation
