Research summary
Biomaterials

Research

My research interest is on the failure analyses of amorphous and crystalline materials under in situ and in vitro conditions. My expertise are macro and nano-scale mechanical properties testing as well as structural, adhesive and cyclic failure analysis using both experimental testing and finite element methods. My main research area is dental materials science and biomechanics.
