About Me

I am an Associate Teaching Professor specializing in control and power systems, with a passion for helping students build strong analytical and hands‑on engineering skills. My work focuses on bridging theory and real‑world applications, and I find great fulfillment in mentoring students as they grow into confident, qualified engineers. I am continually inspired by the rapid evolution of modern engineering technologies, and outside the classroom I enjoy exploring anything with an engine or a circuit—cars, electronic devices, and the innovations that connect them to the future of energy and control.

Research Interests

My research interests include control, nonlinear systems, state estimation, system modeling, electric power systems, and microgrid power systems. I am particularly interested in the control applications in microgrid power systems, including power system modeling, power quality control, fault analysis, power data analysis, and power consumption evaluation and prediction.
