Research

2015: Developed the first ever biomimetic tri layered artificial blood vessels on microfluidic chips (paper submitted).

2010: iscovered that the complete suppression of bioaerosol droplets can be achieved by altering the viscoelastic properties of airway fluids. This work helped in discovery and optimization of a new class of drugs aimed at controlling the transmission of airborne epidemic diseases by modifying the viscoelastic response of human airways mucus. The publication resulted from this work created a news tsunami in international media including:

2009: Discovered the nano-microstructure of asphaltenes particles in bitumen and heavy oil using experimental rheology.

2005: Discovered a New Nanoindentation Test Method for Obtaining Constitutive behavior of Cellular Metals.

2005: Discovered a new Electrical Conductivity Based Method for Measuring Mechanical Properties of Metal Foams.
