Her research interest is focused on cell biology study exploring how physical cell microenvironments can change the fate, differentiation, and physiology of cells/tissues. To explore this field, during her Ph.D., she delved into her thesis study by adapting engineering techniques, soft matter physics knowledge for better understanding cell systems. Cells, as building blocks of our body, the understanding of cell behaviors under controlled physical parameters such as tissue curvature, confinement, hydrodynamic stimulus, is critical to expanding our knowledge. The principle possibly can be applied in emerging new technology developments such as animate material design, soft robots. The keywords on her current research interests can be listed below.
Mechanobiology, Cell/Nucleus mechanics, Collective Behavior, Micro/Nano-fabrication, Biomaterials
