About Me
Fatemeh Ahmadpoor earned her Ph.D. from University of Houston in 2016 under the supervision of PradeepSharma. She was a postdoc associate at Brown University during 2017-2019, working with Huajian Gao. She joinedthe Department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering at NJIT as an Assistant Professor in Fall 2019. Fatemeh isthe recipient of several awards including Cullen College of Engineering Best Dissertation Award and Future FacultyProgram Certificate. Her research interests include enhanced electromechanical properties of soft materials, entropic effects and finite temperature properties of 2D materials as well as interaction of 2D materials with biological systems.

Research Interests
My research interest lies primarily in understanding the physics and mechanics of nano structures and soft materials and their fascinating applications in biological phenomena and energy harvesting. I use methods of theoretical and computational continuum mechanics, advanced statistical physics and atomistic simulations to explore the mechanics of 2D materials, electromechanical coupling in soft materials, as well as physical mechanisms underlying the interface of 2D materials and biology.
