Research interests

My current research interests include biological nano-communications, biological neuronal networks and optically stimulated neurons with optogenetics. During my PhD, I used my background in biology and my engineering skills to propose bio-inspired and promising solutions to the main challenges of nano-communication systems that exist in the literature and published them in reputable peer-reviewed journals and international conferences.

In my postdoctoral research, I am using one of the systems proposed in my PhD thesis in order to design an Optical Neural NanoStimulator Interface that can stimulate neurons at a single-cell precision level. The aim of this project is to solve the challenges of miniaturization and biocompatibility of brain stimulation interfaces that exist in the literature. It can be used non-invasively inside the human body and is capable of stimulating neurons at a single-cell precision level. The proposed optical neural stimulator interface can be very useful to many medical applications such as treating Parkinson’s disease and neutralizing epileptic seizures as well as offering a new way to kill pain rapidly at specific and very localized areas of the body, drug free.
