"Each night, when I retire, I pray that I have made at least one human being a little happier or a little wiser or at least a little more content with himself or herself." ---Og Mandino

Teaching Objective:

· My teaching interest is primary in thermal/fluid science. My goal is to help students connect the theory with experiments by using visual experimental examples and computer tools in the classroom, thus increasing their understanding of the subject by doing and seeing.

Research Interest:

· My primary area of research is in turbulent boundary layer both theoretical and experimental.
