I'm an enthusiastic lecturer and researcher, specialised in mechanical engineering. My research interest lies in experimental materials chracterisation, multiscale numerical analysis of materials, and the design and dynamics of machinery. I have over 10-year experience in teaching various subjects in Higher Education, including Mechanics of Solids, Mechanical Design, Finite Element Methods, Engineering Statics and Dynamics, Advanced Dynamics in Machinery, and Materials Science and Engineering. Active interactions and good student engagement are my mottoes in learning and teaching. I'm also very keen on blended learning where online learning materials using information technology combined with traditional teaching methods.
