My current interest is in areas connecting mechanics and materials. In the past 10 years, I have focused my work in the areas of adhesion science, fracture mechanics and mechanics of soft matter. Recent research projects include bio-inspired architectures for controlled adhesion and friction properties, crack propagation in self-healing polymer gels with high toughness, computational and functional characterization of the molecular steps in Membrane Fusion and mapping of cancer cell traction force in 3D biomatrix.
