Research Interests:
My main research interest is to detect nanomechanics of surfaces and then to use this information to determine physiological/biological parameters and events. For this aim I utilize physics of acoustics to develop new techniques. I perform experiments and analysis on contact mechanics, fluid dynamics, dynamics of microsystems, and ultrasonic transducers.
