Freelance physicist & engineer| Expert in medical device instrumentation| 3 yrs in AI/ML | 5+ years in micro fabrication

Profile Summary

I hold a PhD in physics from Indian Institute of Science. The project involved design and fabrication of microfluidic devices for micro-newton force sensing and actuation applied to the genetic model organism C. Elegans. I also designed the control electronics and the graphical user interfaces for the data analysis. Post PhD I was visiting research fellow at the National Institutes of Health for three years. Here I developed point-of-care, optical, non-invasive device for human placental oxymetry. I also developed modules for multi-layer photon diffusion simulations and made significant contributions to the development of multispectral imaging system and intracellular imaging using dynamic optical coherence microscopy. Recently, I worked at Vijna Labs Pvt. Ltd. in the field of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning for document processing. My expertise include Instrumentation, Embedded programming (Atmega and STM32), Electronics, and programming
