Research Interests

My research focuses on the intersection of Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS), resonator-based transducing, and signal processing technologies. I have dedicated my academic career to advancing traditional MEMS into emerging optical MEMS computing technologies. My primary goal is to advance interdisciplinary MEMS-related technologies, and my current work includes:
1. Enhanced Nonlinear memory
2. Advanced Signal Processing: Signal processing using MEMS resonators to enable faster and more efficient data conversion and analysis.
3. Interdisciplinary Collaborations: Collaborations with researchers from diverse backgrounds to explore innovative applications of MEMS technology, including photonic and flexible electronics.
