Research Interests

  • Mechanics of structures, solids, plates and shells
  • Finite element analysis
  • Vibrations and elastodynamics
  • Design sensitivity analysis

Research Projects

  • Inverse determination of intraocular pressure
    This research aims at the development of an objective clinical tonometer for simultaneous determination of the pressure and corneal elasticity.

  • Inverse determination of intracranial pressure
    Conventional intracranial pressure monitors require an invasive surgical procedure. This research explores the feasibility of a non-invasive measurement technique of the intracranial pressure.

  • Shear modulus recovery of biological tissues
    This is an exploration on a technique for deep palpation of tissue.
