Courses Taught at Colorado State University

In my capacity as an Assistant Professor of Systems Engineering at Colorado State University, I teach the following courses. The lecture materials I use in each course are provided here for private use. If you would like to use this material for your own lectures or other presentations, please contact me via email or through this site so I can approve and provide you with the most updated versions. 

• ENGR 531 "Engineering Risk Analysis" - A graduate-level course for engineering majors that covers an introduction to risk and reliability as concepts, the probabilistic treatment of risk, and methods for risk analysis in complex engineering systems. 

• SYSE 580A7 "Nuclear Systems Engineering" - A graduate-level course for engineering majors that provides an overview of nuclear energy, with a focus on the power plant systems that contribute to functionality and how nuclear power plants function within larger systems-of-systems (e.g., the power grid). 

• ENGR 380A5 "Principles of Nuclear Engineering" - An undergraduate-level course for a broad audience (engineering and non-engineering students alike) that introduces radiation, particle-matter interactions, nuclear fission, and nuclear reactor operations.
