Serving as a Martin Luther King, Jr. Visiting Professor within the Aeronautics and Astronautics Department was a holistically enriching experience. To have an opportunity to work with bright, motivated students and interact with outstanding faculty has left lasting and positive impressions on me prfessionally and personally. The time spent at MIT also propelled my research efforts to another level and has generated international recognition of my work. I strongly recommend this experience to other faculty.
