Research Interest

My primary research interest is in the combination of polymer chemistry and tissue engineering to solve problems in biodegradable polymer synthesis, nanotopography-tissue interaction, and organ regeneration.

The work will be carried out on biological samples through nanotechnology such as the study for biological degradable membranes and the development of devices for drug delivery, polymeric medical implants, as well as biodegradable material applied in tissue engineering.
