2014 – NowAssociate Professor
Department of Mechanical Engineering, Santa Clara University, Santa Clara, California This is a full-time faculty non-tenure track position with responsibilities that include teaching undergraduate and graduate courses in Mechanical Engineering, developing new courses, designing and teaching laboratory experiments, advising and mentoring engineering students, participating in School of Engineering activities and developing research proposals for external funding. SAMPLE COMPLETED RESEARCH PROJECTS • Water Desalination Project The goal of this senior design project was to build a scalable water purification system that is fully powered by solar energy. This project is partially funded by the Center of Science, Technology and Society and the School of Engineering at SCU. • New Server and Data Center Energy Efficiency Metrics Developed new energy efficiency metrics to facilitate proper evaluation of data centers power consumption. These metrics can be used to help reduce the cost of operation and to provision data centers power and cooling resources. • Waste-to-Energy Processes This project is conducted in collaboration with a start-up company (Enventix Inc). The goal of this research was to develop a novel reactor that uses bio-waste as a fuel for power generation.
