Personal profile
Research Interests
Recent research:
This consolidated profile explores a cohesive program of work aimed at advancing sustainable mobility, electric vehicle adoption, and resilient electrical engineering education and measurement. The research emphasizes (a) the transition to clean, electric mobility through multi-stakeholder collaboration, government investment in charging infrastructure, and awareness-raising about environmental benefits; (b) empirical characterization of dynamic performance and energy implications in electric-drive systems—specifically vibration spectra in hybrid powertrains and the associated energy consumption patterns under varied operating conditions; and (c) the development and validation of hands-on laboratory practices and measurement tools for teaching alternating current analysis in power systems, integrating Matlab/Simulink, microcontroller platforms, and real-time sensors. Together, these works advance understanding of how policy, infrastructure, and precise instrumentation influence the adoption of sustainable technologies and the practical training of engineers. The methodological mix includes experimental vibration analysis, ANOVA, numerical processing with Minitab, Dewesoft data acquisition, and classroom-oriented lab design using Matlab/Simulink, Arduino, and sensor modules. The impact lies in informing policy dialogue for charging infrastructure, providing rigorous empirical data on energy and vibration in drive systems, and delivering scalable educational modules to strengthen energy and electrical engineering curricula.
