Nanomechanics has recently played a vital role on broadening our understanding of biological functions of biological molecules and/or cells. Dr. Kilho Eom has been working on Nanomechanics since his graduate studies in the University of Texas. Dr. Eom has been researching on (i) Protein Mechanics based on computational modelings, (ii) Nanomechanical Detection based on MEMS/NEMS devices (for biomolecular and/or cell detection), and (iii) Mechanics of Nano-Structures (e.g. nanowire, nanoparticles, etc) using theoretical, computational models as well as experiments.
