Biography

An associate professor of Mechanical Engineering Department at Kuwait University, a mechanical engineer by practice, and a trained mathematician. I am holding a PhD in Mechanical Engineering from University of Wisconsin-Madison along with dual Masters of Science in Mechanical Engineering and Engineering Mechanics and a Master of Arts in Mathematics. Currently, I have published more than 25 papers in international recognized peer-reviewed journals and conference proceedings, and I have taught more than 9 undergraduate and graduate courses at Kuwait University. My research interest includes: biomechanics, experimental mechanics, and vibration control.
