Research Focus: Investigating Fatigue Behavior of Soft Matter and Biomedical MaterialsAs a PhD candidate at Koc University, I am dedicated to exploring the fatigue behavior of soft matter, with a particular emphasis on biomedical materials such as elastomers and their response to repeated cyclic loading. To achieve this, I have developed an advanced force-controlled fatigue testing methodology that utilizes digital image correlation techniques for precise measurement of strain deformation.In my previous research, I contributed to the field of biomechanics by conducting mechanical characterization and modeling of aorta tissues. Additionally, I investigated cell mechanics using substrate strain and micro post array methodologies. I also engineered a biaxial tensile testing setup to study the influence of mechanical properties of cell scaffolds on cellular and tissue growth dynamics.My multidisciplinary research experience spans various areas, including soft matter mechanics, fatigue testing, digital image correlation, biomechanics, biaxial and uniaxial tensile testing, cell mechanics, tissue engineering, and project management. I have successfully secured funding from Tubitak for my current project and have demonstrated strong grant writing skills.This diverse research sphere holds immense potential for various applications, such as tissue engineering, lab-grown tissue production, cultured meat cultivation, and advancements in prosthetics technology.

Clean Power is a Private Company that works on Renewable Energy, it takes project from AEDB (Alternate Energy Development Board) and provides cheap solutions to rural areas of Pakistan.Here as a Project Engineer I worked on(1) Wind-TurbineWorked on and installed small Wind Turbines to generate Electricity in Windy Areas of Pakistan, (Karachi Coastal Areas) so that a small village house hold can charge a small battery to get light at night. (2) Solar PanelsWorked for installation of Solar Panels in Rural Areas of Pakistan to provide small scale electricity for providing light at night.(3) Bio-Diesel. Worked on blending of Oil obtained from "Pongamia Glabra" with Deisel. Also worked on ethanol blending with Petrol. This was done to provide these as alternate fuel that as almost as efficient and consumed lesser Petrol and Diesel.(4) Hand-Generators and LED LampsProvided Hand Generators to charge batteries for LED lamps and provided them to survivors of 8th October 2005 Earthquake in Kashmir.
