I use a combination of theoretical, computational and experimental tools to address the modeling of advanced materials with applications in medicine and energy. Examples of theoretical tools I use are, Classical and Non–classical Continuum Mechanics, Linear and finite elasticity, Plasticity, Vibrations; Computational tools include FEM-FSI packages (Abaqus/Simulia), Matlab, Mathematica. I have also taken advantage of Texas A&M University at Qatar 3D Immersive Visualization Facility to visualize computational results and to bring an added element of realism.

To date, I have been awarded $ 3.5 M to support my research with medical applications (surgical threads, aortic complications, stent design & skin expansion) and automotive applications (superplastic steel). My activities also involve investigating the status of female engineers in Qatar with a special emphasis on comprehending the reasons that prevent women from advancing in the engineering work place in Qatar.
