Collaborated with multidisciplinary engineering students to create a smart watch that can detect concentration of cocaine in sweat. Created artificial skin for testing of the model using Silicone rubber. Worked on developing flow test methods for mimicking human sweating process. 3D designed an improved design of the test model box using SolidWorks. Researched commonly used drugs, their excretion rate and appropriate aptamers for their detection to expand scope of device use from just cocaine users to other drug users.Performed electro-chemical tests and analyzed data for verification of most appropriate aptamer for cocaine detection.

Volunteered in the outreach program Innovation Imagination Discovery Design hosted by 'Women In Engineering Purdue' along with other engineers. Introduced STEM and Engineering to young students of the community (K-5) to empower them with future education possibilities. Taught students basic concepts of engineering as well as the different kinds of engineering through stories, activities and real life examples. Led students through different creative hands-on and virtual engineering activities to promote innovation possibilities within the field.

Collaborated with the New Product Development team to create the upcoming Hip platform.Designed and developed a 3D CAD model of a type of acetabular liner trial for the new hip platform in Siemens NX . Developed a user-friendly database that presents the relationships between different instruments and implants of the legacy and upcoming hip platform on Ms Access. Created pseudo-radiographs for surgeon use in design labs by processing CT scans on Mimics, developing 3D computational models of the hip joint and sizing them with DePuy’s hip implants in Seimens Nx and slicing a true view image on 3D Slicer. Developed confidence and verification testing protocols, as well as created design documents such as Requirement Traceability Matrix and DFMEA for products in the new hip platform.
