Sivakumar Narayanswamy

Sivakumar Narayanswamy is a Professor and M.Eng & M.A.Sc. Program Director in the Department of Mechanical, Industrial and Aerospace Engineering at Concordia University. His research focuses on advanced laser-based technologies including laser interferometry for surface characterization, pulsed laser micromachining of photonic devices, and biomedical applications such as cell bioprinting and laser shock peening of biodegradable materials. He specializes in optical coherence tomography systems, MEMS device characterization, and dynamic material analysis.

His work bridges mechanical engineering and biomedical science, with notable contributions in laser-induced side transfer (LIST) bioprinting for endothelial tubulogenesis and the development of linear wavenumber spectrometers for high-resolution imaging. Research on nanosecond laser effects includes bubble dynamics, micro-jet modeling, and surface texture analysis of materials like silicon and magnesium alloys.

Recent studies emphasize improving corrosion resistance and biocompatibility of magnesium implants through laser shock peening techniques, alongside statistical analysis of material morphologies. His publications also explore novel spectroscopic methods for noninvasive cell proliferation measurement and optimized optical systems for medical imaging applications.

Dr. Narayanswamy’s interdisciplinary approach integrates engineering design principles with cutting-edge laser technologies to address challenges in manufacturing, materials science, and biomedicine.
