About
I am an experienced researcher with a demonstrated history of working in the higher education industry. I have skills on the fabrication, characterization and implementation of MEMS-based and flexible sensors using a range of microfabrication techniques like Photolithography, 3D printing, Laser Ablation and others. I have received my Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) and Master’s degrees in Electrical and Electronics Engineering from Macquarie University, Australia and Massey University, New Zealand. I worked as a lecturer at Dongguan University of Technology, China, from February 2019 to August 2020. I have also earned postdoctoral fellowships at King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST), Saudi Arabia and Shandong University, China. I am currently employed as a junior professor at Technische Universität Dresden, Germany.
My research interests are in the area of MEMS, flexible sensors, printing technology and nanotechnology-based smart sensors for health, environmental and industrial monitoring applications. My paper, “Wearable Flexible Sensors,” has been one of the top 25 downloaded papers in the IEEE Sensor Journal from June 2017 - September 2018. I have authored and co-authored over 100 research articles in books, journal articles, conference proceedings and book chapters.
