Muhammad Faizan Mysorewala

I am an Associate Professor of Control and Instrumentation Engineering with over 17 years of university teaching, research, curriculum development, and student supervision experience. My academic background is in electrical engineering, with expertise in control systems, mechatronics, robotics and autonomous systems, intelligent control, industrial automation, instrumentation, and Industrial IoT.

My teaching emphasizes concept-first learning, laboratory-supported instruction, project-based design, and the connection between theory and real engineering implementation. I have taught undergraduate and graduate courses in linear control systems, mechatronics, robotics, intelligent systems and control, instrumentation, automation, embedded/IoT systems, and autonomous systems. I have also contributed to curriculum development, laboratory modernization, ABET outcomes assessment, and program coordination.

My research and applied project experience focuses on intelligent mechatronic and robotic systems that integrate sensing, actuation, decision-making, and feedback control. Representative areas include autonomous vehicles, legged and mobile robots, UAV navigation, distributed sensing, and infrastructure monitoring. I am particularly interested in contributing to teaching and applied research in mechatronics, controls, robotics, and autonomous systems.
