Masters in Biomedical Engineering at University of Texas at Arlington and University of Texas at Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas

Research Interests:

  • Instrumentation
  • Tissue Engineering
  • Biomechanics

  • The Pulsed nanopatterning system: We wish to demonstrate that the application of appropriate colors of pulsed light in patterns that illuminate the sub-cellular components of cells or a collection of cells whose channels have been engineered to respond to light can be used to understand neurological communication and memory.

What I am doing in the lab

  • Working as a Research Assistant at Dr.Garner’s lab on the nanopatterning system

What I do outside the Lab:

I take courses at two universities through concurrent enrollment to get done with my masters degree. When at Arlington, I like to hang around with two of my best friends. I enjoy watching movies, listening to music and cooking good food (since I just started cooking a few months back!!!).I like to visit new places and go shopping. During weekends, I usually stroll around the University to update myself with all that I miss during the weekdays. When at home, I call up my parents who stay in India and spend hours talking to them! I Miss them a lot!
