BSc (Sharif University of Technology), MSc (Sharif University of Technology), PhD (SFU)
Applications of micro- and nanotechnologies for biomedical engineering (Bio-MEMS) and energy, tissue engineering, organs-on-chip, microfluidics and sustainable energy
Research at Dr. Akbari's laboratory lies at the interface of cellular biology, biomaterials, and mechanical engineering. He is particularly interested in combining the fundamentals of fluid, mass, and thermal transport in microscales with cellular biology and biomaterials to address current grand challenges in global health. Three key research areas at Dr. Akbari's lab are:
Our lab provides an active learning and highly collaborative and interactive environment for students to gain hands-on experiences in design and development of microscale platforms, tissue engineering, polymer synthesis and cancer research. Our mission is to establish a unique and interdisciplinary research and educational program that can have a significant impact on the quality of human life.
We are currently accepting applications from qualified and motivated individuals who want to pursue MS and/or PhD. Please contact Dr. Akbari by e-mail for further information and discussion.
