I co-developed proof-of-concept design through 3D CAD modeling (SolidWorks/OnShape) and FDM 3D printing. I performed PCR on 3D printed modules yielding results comparable to the reference PCR tests through rigorous protocol and design improvements. I designed and SLA 3D printed prototypes to test different DNA purification protocols. I successfully.

I was responsible for executing day-to-day activities in the wet lab. I procured commercially available PCR kits for label-free DNA amplification testing on reference instruments and visualization through Gel-Electrophoresis and Imaging. I applied surface chemistry concepts to immobilize strands of DNA on different inert surfaces in order to achieve Solid.

Richardson, Texas, US

I was a teaching assistant for the Digital Circuits course (BMEN 3370) for two semesters from fall through spring. I assisted the professor by handling all responsibilities pertaining to the lab aspect of the course. I helped the undergraduate students run experiments and perform tasks in the lab that encompassed complex combinational logic, sequential.

Richardson, Texas, US

As a graduate researcher at the Biomedical Microdevices and Nanotechnology Lab, I assisted R&D efforts involving the design and characterization of flexible biosensors for non-invasive biomarker detection. I developed immunoassay protocols for the detection of different biomarkers using label-free Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS). I aided in.

Cambridge, Cambridgeshire, GB

I was part of a 48-hour medical technology hack-a-thon organized by the Consortium of Affordable Medical Technologies (CAMTech, Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston) at GE's John. F. Welch Research and Technology Center, Bengaluru. As a part of a team of creators, engineers, and doctors, I identified the pressing need for early detection of respiratory.

Bangalore, IN

During the senior year of my undergraduate program, I was part of a team that developed a piezoelectric biosensor for rapid diagnostics. I helped identify the cost-benefit advantage of piezo sensors compared to other biosensing transducers, procured piezo sensors of varying frequencies and performed initial testing. On narrowing down the best sensor for.

I interned at the Computer Science and Automation department where I utilized computational biology tools to identify potent drugs in order to tackle Dengue infection. Age-old Indian tradition dictates the use of Neem (Azadirachta indica) to combat viral infections. Recent scientific studies proved Neem's effectivity but it is still poorly understood. I.

Karnataka, IN

During the summer internship, I worked with a team to evaluate six turmeric species (Curcuma longa) for their oil yielding potential, chemical composition, and anti-bacterial properties. I prepared the turmeric samples in three different ways (fresh, dried and cured) and performed Hydro-distillation to separate out the essential oil. I extracted.
