I am passionate about teaching; teaching is clearly about giving students a solid knowledge and skill in Mechanical Engineering. But I believe, students are entitled to more than that. I encourage the students to express their comments about their progress. My teaching ability and the way the course is structured by providing them the opportunity to formally evaluate these aspects. As a teacher, it is important for me to make each student to realize their true potential and attain the highest goal.

My research is in the field of biomass gasification focusing on renewable energy generation from the bio waste. But my vision stresses its interdisciplinary and unifying potential and in particular its sociological significance and its relevance not only to human and natural science and natural resources.
