Work
Illumina Inc.
Created experiments, protocols, automation & data analysis scripts to measure the valve capabilities of several experimental next generation cartridge designs and actuation systems for Illumina sequencing platforms.
Designed experiments for diverse engineering problems related to fluidics, mechanics, heat transfer, vibrational analysis, Sensor design leading to critical platform altering down selection.
Designed a patent pending valve actuation system.
Successfully completed transfer of various technologies and knowledge transfer from HQ despite travel restrictions.
Supervised experiments for colleagues and conducted trainings for new employees.
Bio-Rad Laboratories
Balanced the kit reagent composition and viscosity to increase flow through droplet microfluidic chip, substantially increasing the sample utilisation and distribution in resultant droplets.
Conducted oligo distribution studies on beads using next generation sequencing.
Auckland Bioengineering Institute
Built a stepper linear stage system and integrated it into a jet injection system to cut porcine tissue with excellent success.
Used NI cRIO and FPGA programming on LabVIEW ecosystem to synchronise the movement of the stage with the high-speed injection system.
Jawaharlal Nehru University
Developed high efficacy recombinant vaccine against tuberculosis and anthrax in Bio-Safety Lab-III by genetically engineering new DNA into bacterial host using shuttle vector and tested it using in vivo experiments on mice.
