Read the published paper01 / RESEARCH
How can mechanical systems remain reliable when dynamics, disturbances and operating conditions change? This question connects my work across vibration control, diagnostics and intelligent mechatronics.
Controllers for unwanted vibration in structures, milling processes and drilling systems, with attention to uncertainty and coupled dynamics.
Reinforcement learning that tunes or augments established control architectures, supported by physical models and Lyapunov-based analysis.
Model-based observers, vibration features and machine learning for condition monitoring, early fault detection and remaining useful life prediction.
Control-oriented modelling and simulation for robotic manipulators, electromechanical systems, production equipment and gas turbine applications.
NEXT RESEARCH DIRECTION
My future research programme connects physics-informed reinforcement learning, Lyapunov analysis and fault-aware control. I aim to develop interpretable controllers and reproducible benchmarks for uncertain mechanical systems.

My collaborative research connects control design and diagnostics with engineering priorities: machining stability, equipment reliability and informed maintenance decisions.
At Örebro University, I developed a model-based estimator for vibration-induced drill-rig faults and initiated work on drill-bit remaining useful life prediction.
Earlier fault identification and condition-informed maintenance.

04 / TEACHING & SUPERVISION
I teach across mechanical engineering, control, mechatronics and production systems, connecting analytical foundations with simulation, experiments and industrial decisions.
“Engineering students learn best when theory is connected to real systems, real data, and real decisions.”
FHEAAdvance HE, United Kingdom
PGCHEUniversity of the West of England
Doctoral supervision trainingÖrebro University, 2026
Drilling systems, gas turbines and robotic manipulators turn abstract models into engineering questions students can investigate.
Flipped classes, worked problems, simulations and laboratory tasks give students time to test ideas and interpret results.
Aligned learning outcomes, transparent criteria and regular peer and tutor feedback help students understand how to improve.
My experience includes bachelor’s and master’s project supervision, module leadership, curriculum development and degree apprenticeship programme leadership. I support students in framing problems, justifying methods and communicating results.
