SAEED ASIRI

 Associate Professor

Profile

Dr. Asiri has been awarded patents on his invention from US Patents entitled: Smart Boat for Swimming Pool Maintenance and Water Safety and from KACST titled: Differential Agitator and a patent. He currently teaches vibrations and control courses in addition to project management professional, PMP course for undergraduate and graduate students. Dr. Asiri's research activities are on the vibration control of mechanical systems. He and his advisor, Prof. A. Baz, have innovated a new class of support struts called periodic struts as an isolator of the mechanical vibrations. He presented the innovative use of unique characteristics of periodic struts in many critical applications where the control of the wave propagation and the force transmission both in the spectral and spatial domains is essential to stopping/confining the propagation of undesirable disturbances. In addition, he published lately many papers on vibration analysis and modal analysis of Functionally Graded Materials using FEM. Dr. Asiri is certified project manager PMP® from project management institute at USA and professional trainer in strategic management, strategic planning, strategic thinking, innovative thinking, project management professional, lean 6 Sigma, theory of inventive problem solving (TRIZ), and human resource management.
