Biography

I am an engineer and academic/researcher/inventor in area of system identification, modeling, embedded devices. My current research focuses on process identification, applied fractional calculus (AFC) for modeling, fractional-order filter design on reconfigurable devices like FPAA and various robotics applications for medical and industrial automation. My passion is also to develop low cost educational devices or tools for Special Need Children.

 

Research Interests
System Identification, Process Control, Fractional Calculus applications in engineering.
