Research and Teaching Interests

Composite Materials and Manufacturing; Industry 4.0/5.0 and Smart Manufacturing; Sustainable and Human-Centric Manufacturing Systems; Engineering Education and the Impact of Industry 5.0 on Society.

Current Research Work

My work focuses on advanced manufacturing and production systems with an emphasis on bridging engineering research and industrial practice. I am interested in composite materials and manufacturing, computational modeling and process simulation, sustainable and human-centric manufacturing, and Industry 4.0/5.0–enabled production systems. My current interests include manufacturing systems optimization, simulation-driven engineering, strategic supply development and manufacturing integration, and improving resilience, sustainability, and decision-making in modern manufacturing environments through data-driven and systems-level approaches.

In both teaching and research, I am particularly interested in the role of engineering education in preparing future engineers for Industry 5.0 and exploring the broader impact of engineering education on society, human-centric innovation, sustainability, and industrial transformation.
