Profile

My current research and teaching have been greatly influenced by my experiences – I've lived and worked in several countries and have been involved in various projects. I believe that engineers and scientists share the ultimate aim of improving the quality of life. In the early stages of my career, I was deeply fascinated with fundamental research and new discoveries, particularly during my PhD study at Imperial College London. However, this type of research often requires expensive facilities to explore new phenomena. Unfortunately, not all universities where I have been working had access to such resources. As I moved from one country and university to another, I noticed a common goal: the integration of academia with industry. Many industrial challenges do not necessarily demand fundamental research but instead, require the application of existing knowledge available in publications to solve practical problems and produce high-quality products. 

Consequently, I find myself more passionate about solving engineering problems and bridging the gap between academia and industry. This also reflects greatly on my teaching. It is more about finding a practical problem to solve, clearly this was well received by the students who wants to join the industry as engineers. On the research side, it became both a challenge and a joy, as I work on multidisciplinary industrial projects that involve various external factors. While my major research area focused on Atomisation and spray for almost 10 years, I now frequently lead and engage in projects about structure, welding, casting, control, and optics. Recently, I have worked on optimizing a cooling system for 3-D printed high-pressure die-casting tools, designing an optical system for robotic arm welding, creating a heart assist device, and enhancing electric motor cooling. I look forward to embracing more challenges, especially in heat transfer, energy efficiency and environmental protection with multidisciplinary projects involve electrification and autonomous applications.
