As a matter of fact, my research has turned direction from more theoretical and computational mechanics research toward more mechatronics-oriented product design and manufacture. At present, I and my graduate students team are working on the product-based projects of Adaptive Focus Liquid-Lens Eyeglasses and Liquid Crystal Contact Lens, Wire-less Lead-less Cardiac Pacemakers, Artificial Mitral Valves by SMA, and the like.
