Dr. Sinawi joined AUIS in the fall of 2019 as the chair of the Engineering Department. Prior to his appointment at AUIS, he held faculty positions for a total of 19 years at Khalifa University, American University of Sharjah, and King Fahd University of Petroleum and Minerals. He started his engineering career as a research and development engineer in the U.S. at the International Truck and Engine Corporation. He has worked on numerous projects related to active control of machining processes, turbine blades modeling and control, unmanned arial vehicles, fuel cells, remote sensing, magneto-rheological dampers, structural design and fatigue analysis, and impact dynamics. He has numerous publications and funded research projects in related fields. His research interests include structural damage detection, modeling and control of linear and nonlinear dynamic systems, system identification, MEMS modeling and control, and nondestructive testing.
Dr. Sinawi earned his M.S. and Ph.D. in mechanical engineering from the University of Dayton, Ohio in 1995 and 1999, respectively. He is a reviewer for many journals and a member of ASME and JEA.
