My primary academic interest lies in bridging the gap in the research pertaining to the interdisciplinary field wherein mechanical and materials engineering are brought together with chemical and biological science to study and fabricate nature-inspired composite materials. I design next-generation composite materials via advanced manufacturing technologies including 3D printing, with an emphasis on sustainability for load-bearing structures, textiles, energy, and environmental applications. I am also interested to explore the hierarchical architectures and geometries effect in designing composites with unprecedented multifunctional properties. The desired outcomes of my research include discovering the structure, composition, and property relationship behavior of composite materials along with the exploration of the relationship between the multi-scale geometric design of hierarchical architectures and the multifunctionality.
