Keivan Kiani, Ph.D.
The expert field of Dr. Kiani is modelling of structures from nano- to macro- scales. After finding the physical nature of phenomena of concern, a suitable model is developed. This is the most critical stage in developing a simple but a sophisticated model aimed to capture of interest data. After this stage, he commonly uses meshfree methods as well as analytical solutions to interpret the physical/chemical/engineering nature of the phenomena of concern. His current research focuses on advanced continuum-based modeling of vibrations of assemblage of nanostructures such as vertically aligned single- and double-walled carbon nanotubes as well as current-carrying nanowires which are expected to be building blocks of the upcoming micro-/nano- electromechanical systems.
