I joined the Department of Mechanical and Mechatronics Engineering at Birzeit University as an Assistant Professor in August 2020. Earned the BASc (1999) and MASc (2009) in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Jordan. Mainly worked in Machine Design for manufacturing, CAD/CAM, Machine health condition monitoring. I obtained the PhD in Mechanical and Mechatronics Engineering from University of Toronto (2020). Then as a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Toronto from March 2020 to August 2020.
My research interests focus on developing innovative technologies and instruments for manipulating and characterizing cells and micro-objects, including developing vision-based control and automation strategies for the cell’s manipulation and biological microsurgical operations. In addition to microfabrication and microfluidic devices. This interdisciplinary research area requires combining the principles and techniques of microfabrication, material science, cell biology, and cell imaging and microscopy.
Currently, working on a cooperation to work on ingestible electrochemical systems, aiming to design, build, and implant sensors to collect data from different areas that may hard to be reached without invasive surgical operations, and use this data to monitor and diagnose different diseases. In addition to design, build, and control mini robots and use it to deliver drugs to different desired positions.
