In 2018, I earned my B.E. degree in Mechanical Engineering from the National University of Science and Technology (NUST), Pakistan, securing GPA-based scholarships throughout all eight semesters. During my academic journey, I also served as a Research Assistant (RA) at the National Centre of Robotics and Automation (NCRA). My diverse research interests encompass biomedical devices, robotics, and computational dynamics, with a particular focus on microscope biological systems.
The crux of my research revolves around investigating the impact of constitutive laws on slender structures, modeled as continuum beams or rods, and their dynamics of deformation in bending and torsion. Specifically, I will delve into scenarios where the constitutive law exhibits non-linear and/or non-homogeneous characteristics. This exploration is propelled by a fundamental question: how do the features of non-linearity and non-homogeneity in constitutive laws influence the dynamics of deformation in biological filaments, subsequently shaping their biological activity or functions?
Although the exact application of this study may be elusive, I plan to define mechanics-based problems that intricately address engineering and mathematical challenges. This strategic approach serves as a foundational stepping stone toward achieving the overarching goal of understanding the intricate relationship between the structure and function of biological filaments.
Moreover, my research aims to develop inverse methods for identifying the constitutive laws governing slender filaments. To achieve this, I will leverage experimental data from real systems, employing it to discern the constitutive laws. The accuracy of these identified laws will be rigorously validated through molecular dynamics simulations on software platforms, ensuring the reliability and applicability of the research outcomes.
