ABOUT ME

I am a postdoctoral scientist at Vanderbilt University, USA, advancing research on lung-on-a-chip systems to model disease processes and cellular interactions. My work combines biomaterials and microfluidics to address complex biomedical challenges and drive healthcare innovation.

​

I also serve as a visiting scientist at the Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta, USA. I have over 5 years of expertise in biomaterial-based immune cell engineering, focusing on solid tumor immunotherapy, 3D tissue engineering, and in vitro tumoroid models. Previously, I was a visiting faculty member at Somaiya University, Mumbai, India, where I mentored students and contributed to academic development.

​

As a Research Mentor with the Pangea Society in India, I guide students in designing and conducting research projects. I have also contributed as a journal peer reviewer, an editor for a scientific book, and a collaborator on multi-institutional projects. Beyond research, I am a science enthusiast sharing knowledge through Instagram to make science engaging and accessible.

​

Committed to innovation, mentorship, and impactful research, I aim to inspire the next generation of scientists while advancing material sciences and cellular engineering.
