Stephen Armah (PhD)

Full-time: Mechanical Engineering

Stephen is a highly qualified, tenacious, and well-accomplished lecturer with a wide range of knowledge and many years’ experience looking to become an asset to a prestigious institution in need. He has a distinguished record of publication in academic journals worldwide. I have been involved as a lecturer, teacher, assessor, researcher, course coordinator, mentor, advisor, and reviewer at various Universities, Community Colleges, Secondary Schools, and Professional Bodies. My involvement in the domain of teaching and learning has spanned across various parts of the world, helping educate students from diverse social and cultural backgrounds, including those with special needs.

I am an effective communicator and a resourceful lecturer with a proven ability to enhance the students’ performance and help them shape a better world by empowering them with knowledge. I am well acquainted with the national qualification frameworks in the US, UK and Ghana, and with the ABET accredited Mechanical Engineering degree program in the US. In addition to degrees in Mechanical Engineering, I have Postgraduate Certificate in Education. Teaching interests are in the field of Mechanical Engineering (focus on Mechanical Systems courses), Mathematics, Controls, CAD, Modeling and System Identification.

My main research interests are in the areas of System Design for Automation (application in Robotics and Mechatronics), which involves Controls, System Identification and Modeling of Dynamic Systems (including Time-delay Systems), and use of Machine Learning, Image and Video Processing techniques, with application of Matlab/Simulink/Simscpae, LabVIEW, and Python. Other research interests involve Modeling and Stress Analysis of Bioengineering and Machine Systems, with application of CAD and FEA tools (SolidWorks, Ansys, and Abaqus), and Data Analytics.
