Maged Mikhail, Ph.D.

Interim Associate Department Chair, Engineering Technology

Associate Professor, Mechatronics Engineering Technology

Introduction

Maged Mikhail joined PNW in 2015 as an assistant professor of mechatronics engineering technology where he teaches undergraduate and graduate students and supervises their research projects.

Research Overview

Mikhail’s research is focusing on control automation and robotics. He aspires to develop a robotics and automation research area to advise graduate and undergraduate students and to collaborate with industry, scientists and researchers both inside and outside of the department. He is also conducting research on physical and cyber-security for advanced manufacturing systems.

I enjoy playing soccer, walking, hands-on activities and traveling.
