Research Interests

My experience as a PhD student at the Colorado School of Mines University gained me the opportunity to teach variety of undergrad and grade course include to Information Systems Science, Feedback Control Systems, Multidimensional Signal processing, and image processing courses and Multidisciplinary Engineering and Data Acquisition Laboratories. As a teaching assistant, I have developed many important teaching skills from interacting with students and teachers in the classroom. I have been responsible for preparing, teaching, discussion sections, helping prepare homework assignments, solutions, programming projects, and holding office hours with students. From 2012-2015, I helped my advisor mentor master students at Central Automation Robotics and Distributed Intelligence (CARDI) at the Colorado School of Mines University where I was assigned to advise and mentor grad students. The interactions with the grade students not only helped me solve difficult research problems, but also gave me a chance to improve my understanding of related research topics. I really enjoyed that experience and found it very rewarding to teach and mentor students at different ability levels.

Teaching Interests

My first experience with teaching of college levels started when I was a graduate student at the Sirte University of Libya in 2005. As a graduate student, I have been fortunate enough to teach a variety courses that succeed me as a teacher assistance in other engineering classes and allowed me to interact with students on a personal level and helped me understand the intricacies of course development and the detail needed for a thorough, smooth-running course. In addition, to teaching undergraduate courses, I have had many opportunities to help other graduate students and to be a laboratory assistant in the Wireless Communication, Microwave, and Antenna Systems at Electrical Engineering and Telecommunication department. From my first educational experience at Sirte University, I learned how to use multifaceted curricula. Students need to spend time in calibration procedures and individual measurements in the laboratory. In lectures, I must introduce the concepts of the lecture by giving examples first and allowing students to work on relationships before I give them definitions and facts. In my lab sessions, I made students collect their own data and use simple statistics or mathematical models to analyze their data. It made them work on solving real problems in the hope that they would feel the complexity of the scientific process. In general, I used these teaching methods until students with different learning styles find it easier to learn in my courses.
