[2] Her research seeks to characterize and optimize the optical and electric response of interferometric modulator (IMOD) displays.
[1] She graduated with a Doctorate of Philosophy in Materials Science and Engineering from Pennsylvania State University in 2005.
Bassiri-Gharb is interested in applying ferroelectric and multiferroic materials to micro- and nano- electromechanical systems.
[1][2] She is also interested in using these materials to develop novel sensors and actuators for the fields of environmental energy harvesting, tunable photonic crystals, and ultrasonic transducers.
[1][2] Additionally, Bassiri-Gharb researches peizoelectric MEMS devices to manipulate nanoscale materials.
