Nazanin Bassiri-Gharb is a mechanical engineer in the field of micro and nano engineering and mechanics of materials.[1] She is the Harris Saunders, Jr. Chair and Professor in the George W. Woodruff School of Mechanical Engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta, Georgia.[1] Bassiri-Gharb leads the Smart Materials, Advanced Research and Technology (SMART) Laboratory at Georgia Tech.[2] Her research seeks to characterize and optimize the optical and electric response of interferometric modulator (IMOD) displays. She also investigates novel materials to improve reliability and processing of IMOD.

Education

[edit]

Bassiri-Gharb obtained her Laurea Degree from the University of Padua in Italy in 2001.[1] She graduated with a Doctorate of Philosophy in Materials Science and Engineering from Pennsylvania State University in 2005.[1][3] Her thesis was entitled Dielectric and Piezoelectric Nonlinearities in Oriented Pb(Yb1/2Nb1/2)03-PbTiO3 Thin Films[3].

Career

[edit]

Research interests

[edit]

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.[1][2]
