My research interests include Smart sensing and energy harvesting, MEMS dynamics, Flow-induced vibrations, Nonlinear dynamics.

I have research/project experiences in the following aspects:

• Piezoelectric/triboelectric sensors for healthcare monitoring, Internet of Things (IoT) and human-machine interface (HMI) applications
• Flow induced vibration (FIV)-based wind energy harvesting and galloping suppression
• Rotary electromagnetic vibration energy harvesters (Output power at Watt level) and their circuit interfaces

Seeking collaborators in related fields for research collaboration.
