Professor Gharib's research interests cover a range of topics in fluid dynamics and aeronautics. These include vortex dynamics, active and passive flow control, autonomous flight, underwater systems and robotics, as well as advanced flow-imaging diagnostics.
His biomechanics and medical engineering research activities can be categorized into two main areas: the fluid dynamics of physiological machines (such as the human circulatory system and aquatic breathing/ propulsion), and the development of medical devices (such as heart valves, cardiovascular health monitoring devices, and drug delivery systems.
