Personal profile

Research Interests

My research focuses on the development of realistic vibration testbeds and the optimization of wide-bandwidth, high-power vibration energy harvesters for Internet of Things (IoT) applications. I am particularly interested in characterizing ambient vibrations in real-world environments and designing instrumentation systems that enable precise measurement and analysis.
By integrating principles from instrumentation engineering, optics, electronic engineering, and mechanical engineering, I aim to create scalable and efficient energy harvesting solutions. These systems are designed to power distributed sensor networks and embedded devices, contributing to sustainable and autonomous IoT deployments.
My work bridges experimental validation with practical implementation, ensuring that vibration energy harvesting technologies are both robust and adaptable to diverse operational conditions.

Teaching Interests

My teaching interests lie in the intersection of instrumentation, electronics, and mechanical systems, with a strong emphasis on applied learning and interdisciplinary integration. I am passionate about guiding students through the principles of vibration analysis, energy harvesting, and embedded system design, using real-world applications to deepen understanding.
Drawing from my research experience in developing vibration energy harvesting systems and experimental testbeds, I aim to teach courses that blend theory with hands-on experimentation. I am particularly interested in teaching modules on sensor instrumentation, signal processing, electromechanical systems, digital electronics, mathematical methods, general physics, circuit theory, and IoT hardware integration. My goal is to help students build a strong foundation in engineering principles while encouraging innovation and problem-solving through project-based learning.
I also value mentoring students in research led environments, fostering curiosity and critical thinking. By incorporating current research challenges into the classroom, I strive to prepare students for careers in emerging technologies and sustainable engineering solutions.
