I earned my Ph.D. in Electrical and Computer Engineering Department at Northeastern University. I worked under the supervision of Prof. Ahmed Busnaina. I have studied about device designing, semiconductor fabrication of devices, micro and macro-assembly of components and also worked on testing of devices for medical, optical, and storage applications for more than 5years. I have experience in designing using softwares such as Coventorware AutoCAD, and CAD Solidworks. In fabrication, I have expertise using operating tools such as PVD (DC-RF Sputtering), ICP (Inductively Coupled Plasma), Contact Aligner for Photolithography, Nano Imprint Lithography and analysis tools such as: SEM (Scanning Electron Microscope), Optical Fluorescence Microscope, and AFM (Atomic Force Microscope). I built a custom-made microassembly workstation for precise manipulation of micron-scale object. This microassembly station operates using a programmed Labview graphical software.
I co-founded Biolom, and I also serve as CEO for this spin-off company. Biolom is developing diagnostics devices for early detection and monitoring of various diseases. In Fall 2012, I participated in the National Science Foundation (NSF) Innovation-Corps. I represented Biolom as the NSF Entrepreneurial Lead. In this program, I was required to reach out to in-vitro diagnostics companies, reference labs, and clinicians (medical oncologists, gastroenterologists, and radiation oncologists). The NSF I-Corps has sharpened my knowledge and understanding of the needs in in-vitro diagnostics, and practical challenges of the physicians in diagnosis and treatment of diseases including cancer and heart disease. In 2011, I also led a team that was selected by Center for Integration of Medicine and Innovative Technology (CIMIT) as top 10 in the nation.
