Expert's field of expertise is mechanics of solids, fracture, failure and stress analysis, manufacturing and characterisation of advanced materials with special focus on composites in aerospace, automotive and medical applications using both experimental and simulation techniques. Part of her research is on the biomaterials in dental and tissue engineering applications.

Her current research projects are as follows:
1- Nanocomposites of elastomers for seal applications using nano-clay and nanotube
2- Biodegredable composites of ceramic and polymer for scaffold applications
3- Biocomposites of natural fibres for automotive and sustainable development
4- Ultrasonic welding of composites
5- Optimisaiton of drilling process of stack titanium/composites
6- Procesisng and characterisaiton of titanium based implants for dental applications
7- Fibre assemblies of nonwovens for damping

Previous research projects include:
8- Ultrasonic consolidation for manufacutirng of functional materials (thermomechanical analysis)
9- Ultrasonic consolidation for embedding sensors in three dimensional metal structures
10- three diemensional modelling of adhesively bonded joints
11- optimisaiton of the resin formulaiton for improved peeling and adhesion properties in personal health care
12- textile composites of nonwoven produced by hydroentanglement
13- Microcmechanics of failure and deformation in polymer composites using finite element modelling
