I am an Assistant Professor of Civil Engineering at Southern Utah University with a Ph.D. in Civil Engineering and a master’s degree focused on structural and earthquake engineering. I also teach engineering courses online through Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University. Since 2020, I have taught undergraduate students at all levels in civil, mechanical, and general engineering programs.
My teaching experience includes Statics, Dynamics, Strength of Materials, Materials Science, Structural Engineering, Soil and Foundation Engineering, Transportation and Highway Engineering, and Python Programming. I have also taught or supported Thermodynamics, Fluid Mechanics, Finite Element Analysis, Structural Health Monitoring, Computer Vision, and AI for Predictive Maintenance. I led the development of an AI and Machine Learning Certificate and three related engineering courses at Southern Utah University. I can also assist with Calculus, Differential Equations, Physics, Statistics and Probability, Data Analysis, Data Science, and Machine Learning, especially when applied to engineering.
I begin by identifying where a student is struggling. I explain the concept in plain language, connect it to a physical or real-world example, and work through problems step by step. I use diagrams, free-body diagrams, visual explanations, and short practice problems to build understanding and confidence. Rather than simply giving answers, I help students develop a reliable problem-solving process, check their work, and understand the assumptions behind each equation. I adapt each session to the student’s course, learning style, and goals, whether the student is preparing for an exam, debugging Python code, analyzing data, or working independently on an engineering assignment or project.
