Meet GCU's Mechanical Engineering Faculty

The following is an computer-generated summary of the video transcript.

I am Professor Babakalli Alkali, the Head of Mechanical Engineering here at GCU, and I actually teach both undergraduate and postgraduate modules. The module I am actually involved in is the Maintenance Management module as well as the EnergyAudit and Energy Asset Management module at the MSc level. and also the undergraduate module I am involved in is the Integrated Engineering Studies module. Thank you very much. I am Martin Macdonald Professor in Mechanical Engineering here at GCU. I've been working here for over 30 years and I've been teaching at levels 2, 3 and 4 in the modules Engineering Design and Analysis. Hello I'm Angela de silva. I'm a Professor at the Mechanical Engineering department. I teach modules from Manufacturing Materials, third year Design Process Assembly & Manufacture, 4th Year Advanced Engineering Mechanics, Advanced Computer Aided Engineering at the master's level and MEng level, and I also have 20 PhD students doingAdvanced Manufacturing Processes. I'm Dr Patricia Escalona, I am the module leader for Materials and Manufacturer 2 which is a second year module. I teach Sustainable Materials and Manufacturing Process which is a module for MEng and Master of Science and I help for the Engineering Applications which is at first year level. This is our materials lab. In this lab students are able to conduct tensile tests, bending tests to measure the materials mechanicals properties. We also have got equipments to prepare metallic graphic samples and to study the micro structures of the materials. Among other equipment, we have a five axis CNC machine. My name is Amit Kumar Jain. I teach Condition Monitoring and Maintenance Management module for MScand MEng at GCU. Currently I'm researching on data driven and risk informed asset management. Hi, my name is Juan Manuel Parrilla and I'm a lecturer in robotics and I'm teaching two courses in Design Process Assembly and Manufacturing and Sustainable Materials and Manufacturing Processes. My name is Andrew Cowell. I'm a lecturer in Mechanical Engineering. I teach on Financial Analysis modules at masters level, honours level level four and level three as well. I also teach on modules in Engineering Design Analysis, levels 4, 3 and 2, and finally, I also teach on a Renewable Energy Design module at level four as well well. Hello, my name is Richard Danyi and I'm a Dr in Applied Mathematics and among various mathematics modules I'm teaching. I'm leading the Mechanical Principles B module in the first yearMy name is Dr Dharminder Singh, I'm a lecturer in Mechanical Engineering at GCUand I teach level 2 Thermodynamics and level 3 EnergyConversion Technologies. We have modern lab equipment in our thermal fluids lab where students can conduct experiments such as power generation from wind turbines, steam generation for steam power plants and to understand various fluid flow principles.I'm Dr Farridon Amdjadi, I teach mathematics in the Mechanical Engineering. I am module leader for all maths delivered by Mechanical Engineering and other departments and I teach Mathematics 1A, Mathematics 1B, Mathematics 2A, Mathematics 2B, Applied Mathematics, Engineering Mathematics and Foundational Mathematics. My name is Dr Jeff Gibson. I'm a lecturer in the Mechanical Engineering department at GCU. I teach Integrated Engineering Studies 1 for the first year students and I also teach Thermodynamics in second year andEnergy Conversion Technologies for third year and CAD 2 for final year students. My name is David Semple I am a GA lecturer at Glasgow Caledonian University. Specifically the program BEng Honours Engineering Design and Manufacture. My primary role is to assist the GA students with the work based projects for Integrated Engineering Studies 1, 2 and 3 and I am also the module leader for the honours year projects for the GA students. I also teach on Engineering Applications, a level one module, Computer Aided Engineering, a level four module, Advanced Computer Aided Engineering, a level five module. Hi my name is Dr Muditha Kulatunga and I'm a lecturer in Mechanical Engineering, my experience areas are, Computer Aided Design and Computer Aided Manufacturing and also Finite Element Analysis.3D printing is the building of three dimensional objects from a cat model or a digital 3D model.Materials such as a APAs and PLA are used to build these models and materials laid down layer by layer to form a three dimensional object.
