Research Interest: My research focuses on the Mechanics of Nanomaterials and Biological Systems, with a particular emphasis on employing theoretical and computational methodologies. I am intrigued by the mechanical behavior of fluctuating surfaces, particularly in the context of lipid bilayers and man-made flexible nanostructures such as molybdenum disulfide, phosphorene, boron nitride, and MXenes. One key aspect of my work is developing a continuum statistical mechanics model to investigate the entropic pressure near these fluctuating surfaces. Additionally, I utilize molecular dynamics simulations to gain deeper insights into the behavior of fluctuating membranes, aiming to bridge the gap between theoretical modeling and computational observations in biophysics and material sciences.

I am a third year Albert Dorman Honors Scholar majoring in Mechanical Engineering while minoring in Computer Science. For the past two years, I was a member of NJIT Women's basketball team. Outside of research, I have completed a summer internship and I continue to work as a math tutor. I am eager to learn the basics of statistical mechanics for various flexible nanomaterials, particularly applications related to biological systems and nanotechnology.

Research Interest: My research interests lie at the intersection of multiscale modeling and simulation, the mechanics of biological and material systems, and complex biophysical processes spanning across several spatiotemporal scales. I am captivated by the sophistication of biological/biomolecular and nanoscale structures (including the bilayer membranes, lipid/protein complexes, cellular assemblies, soft materials, nanomaterials such as nanoparticles and nanocomposites), the interaction between nanostructures and biological systems, as well as their intricate behaviors such as mechanical deformation, mechano-physiological dynamics, structural stability, fluctuation, and electromechanical coupling. I am passionate about and dedicated to unraveling the mechanistic underpinnings of their properties across various time and length scales. By employing multiscale framework, such as combining molecular dynamics and continuum modeling, I seek to bridge the gap between molecular events, nanoscopic interactions, and macroscopic phenomena in these systems for various applications in engineering, biophysical/biochemical, biomedical, and mechanical fields.
