Welcome to my site!

 I am a Professor in the Department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering (MIE) at the University of Minnesota Duluth (UMD). I have been teaching at UMD since 2001 and love working with colleagues, staff and students at UMD, especially in the MIE Department. I have had the privilege to see students grow from orientation day to graduation ceremony, and win national engineering design competitions with them working with me with engineering skills acquired throughout the program.
