He has several biomedical patents which have been featured in The New York Times, WIRED, and The Economist. He has served as a tenured professor at MIT and Dartmouth College. Renowned for his interdisciplinary approach, he combines biological systems with quantum circuit computing. As a Research Assistant, I individually designed diagrams for presentations and papers published in IEEE Nanotechnology and Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology to communicate the Sarpeshkar Lab’s data in concise, intelligible images, without sacrificing precision. I also assimilated in-depth knowledge of existing research to find relevant data for modeling coronaviruses and bioengineering. In addition, I gained proficiency in a variety of microbiology lab protocols as the first undergraduate student hired by Dr. Sarpeshkar, and trained new hires in lab techniques, supervising and balancing multiple projects at once.
