Teaching Philosophy Statement

After being a student for over 2 decades and a teacher for about 8 years, I developed a picture of what I consider as my “teaching philosophy statement”.
Teaching for me is a chance to pass the knowledge that I have gained to students and enhance my own as well. It feels wonderful when the students understand how to deploy the engineering concepts to real life applications; I believe this is achieved by introducing various related examples.
I understand that students put more effort when they are inspired by the teacher; therefore I look forward to motivating my students by providing the required knowledge, guidance and help to solve challenging problems relying on their own skills. In turn, the student’s self-confidence will be elevated. My teaching philosophy includes assigning short and more frequent homework to keep a continuous follow up status with the progress of the course. I also believe that a reliable textbook and well prepared class notes are the perfect tools for a student to perform better and have a strong source to rely on for future needs.
Moreover, I believe respect is an essential factor in the classroom. An instructor should treat his students the same way that he/she would like to be treated. I have seen that students tend to dislike the class when professors embarrass or individually address them.
Through my experience as a teacher I learned how knowledge can always be acquired even during teaching, a sign that a person never stops learning as long as he/she lives.
Research Statement

I have done several research works in the areas of Mechatronics, System
Identification, classical and fuzzy control, Parameter Estimation of Unmanned Aerial
Vehicles, sensor calibration and utilization, visual servo control, and Inertial
Measurement Units. In my PhD dissertation I introduced an in-flight method to estimate the parameters of a UAV’s dynamics model; I also introduced and verified a low-cost IMU that is capable of measuring the angular acceleration information.
In the future I intend to continue researching in the UAV field. Moreover, I would like to start different Mechanical/Mechatronics based research studied that can be beneficial to the human life.
