Dr. Daqaq's Web Site

Mohammed Daqaq joined the Department in 2006. His teaching and research interests lie in the areas of nonlinear dynamics and control of mechanical systems ranging from the micro to the macro scale. He has a well-developed expertise in the modeling and simulation of Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS), as well as large mechanical systems particularly ships, ship-mounted cranes, telescopic cranes, and quay-side container cranes. He has significant expertise in computational and analytical dynamics with special interest in nonlinear systems. In addition, he has special interest in utilizing Virtual Reality simulations to understand the dynamics of complex systems. He is a member of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA), and the Society of Experimental Mechanics (SEM).
