Developing new algorithms and making existing ones faster.
About Me
My goal is to create medical devices that make a difference in the quality of life for patients worldwide. Currently, I am a Project Assistant at IISc in Prof. G.K. Ananthasuresh’s lab developing soft microrobotics for minimally-invasive surgery and targeted drug delivery. My previous research was at MIT working under Profs. Robert Langer and Giovanni Traverso, where my research focused on sustained drug delivery from gastric implants. Leveraging my background in mechanical engineering and computational science, I have overseen the complete product development of 3 medical devices – design, prototyping, in vivo testing, regulatory approval and large scale manufacturing. I am passionate about mentorship as well as entrepreneurship, and I volunteer locally to support STEM innovation in my community.
