My principal research interests lie in the field of:

• Micro sensor (principle, simulation, design, and fabrication).

• Micromachining and its application in MEMS (Micro Electro Mechanical Systems).

• Tactile sensing systems (tactile sensing and display) in medical applications.

• Micro Energy harvesting devices

•  Kinematics any dynamics of micro robotic mechanisms.
