Part time sabbatical working on gaining practical experience with laboratory automation tools and workflows at the UCSD Center for Drug Discovery Innovation. I’ll be collaborating with UCSD scientists and assisting with screening efforts so I can develop innovative Biotools for life sciences automation.

Oak Brook, Illinois, US

I currently serve as treasurer on the SLAS board of directors and am an officer on the executive leadership committee which consists of the president, VP, secretary and myself. My role as treasurer is to oversee theoperational and investment portfolio of the organization and to work with the professional team to ensure the organization is financially.

Carlsbad, California, US

Founded startup to commercialize a magnetic nanotechnology based cell separation platform. Productized the platform into automated benchtop instrument and disposable cartridge for target applications in rare cell enrichment and immunotherapy manufacturing. Awarded SBIR grant proposals and raised approximately $ 7.5 million in nondilutive capital to fund.

Lead Ferrologix Inc through the Biotools accelerator program. Participation resulted in Launch of several partnerships, collaborations and funded SBIR projects.

Led R&D efforts on NIH funded collaborative research grant between GE Global Research, UCLA, and Yale University on a diagnostic platform for multiple sclerosis and autoimmune disorders. Developed automated prototype instrument and cartridges with magnetic ratcheting technology. Coordinated with collaborators and installed technology at remote sites.

• Led several research projects in microfluidics, micro-magnetics, lab automation, and other lab on a chip platforms resulting in several peer reviewed publications and patents. Invented a high precision, high throughput.
• Developed micro-magnetic chips for cell manipulation and sorting using micromagnetic arrays.
• Built and programmed robotic and mechatronic systems to control magnetic fields for parallel cell maneuvering.
• Designed and fabricated a multi-axis robotic arm for fluorescence microscopy, enabling controlled magnetic field cycling over microfluidic chips.
• Utilized CAD for design, manual fabrication in a machine shop, and programming of motor assemblies for feedback control.
• Created LabVIEW software with a graphical user interface for real-time cell manipulation across magnetic substrates.

Pleasanton, CA, US

• Developed an integrated pressure control system for microfluidic vortex chips to isolate circulating tumor cells (CTCs) from whole blood.
• Utilized micro-pressure sensors for PID feedback pressure injection in microfluidic chip inlet for stable flow at high speed.
• Designed & manufactured bio sample pressure injection reservoirs, custom PCBs, and sourced multiple subsystems for successful CTC capture.
• Wrote firmware and software via Labview with intuitive graphic user interface.
• Developed operating manual and trained research staff in operating and maintaining the system.

Developed a protype closed loop fluidic assembly as a “mock cardiovascular system” to serve as a testbed for left ventricular assist devices (LVADs). Designed and assembled prototype, wrote customized software, and performed basic performance/validation studies.

US

Performed research of electrophoretic separations in micro and nanofluidic channels for DNA isolation applications.

Irving, Texas, US
