PotaVida lowers the cost of access to safe drinking water in disasters, rural settings, and urban slums, and enables program evaluation by automating the collection and reporting of usage data. Leading biological efficacy tests and user-centered design of the solar water purifiers in emerging markets including Nicaragua, Kenya, and Zambia.

Boston, MA

Redesigning and instructing BE 428, a project-based course developing fundamentals of the design aspects of biomedical devices and diagnostics. Basic theory, case studies, prototyping sessions, and homework are applied towards needs identification, materials selection, and failure mode evaluation. The course culminates in a final functional prototype.

Designed novel upper-room air ultraviolet germicidal irradiation (UVGI) systems for hospital use in low-resource settings to prevent tuberculosis and other airborne disease transmission.Investigated UV LED and whole-ceiling models as novel UVGI alternatives and set UVGI implementation standards that ensure resource appropriate materials and manufacturing.

My PhD research as an NSF Fellow in Dr. James Bryers’s Lab focused on hospital acquired infections caused by bacterial adhesion to medical devices. This involved developing adhesion dependent protein isolation from Staphylococcus epidermidis (SE) bacterial cells. I focused on SE’s giant extracellular matrix binding protein, Embp, and its involvement in.
