EDUCATION Syracuse University, Syracuse, NY Master of Science in Biomedical Engineering Thesis: Fibrinogen adsorption on Ti-6Al-4V Studied with AFM University of Mumbai, Maharashtra, India. Bachelor of Engineering in Biomedical Engineering Ranked 1st at the University Examination

Dec 2009 GPA: 3.90 June 2007

PROJECTS Interaction of Protein Fibrinogen (Fb) with Surfaces of Biomedical Alloys Jan ’08-Present Studying interaction of Fb with titanium alloy Ti-6Al-4V, used in medical device applications. Trying to understand & model the kinetics of Fb adsorption and conformation of Fb on the surface of Ti-6Al-4V using Atomic Force Microscopy. Kidney Tissue Engineering ‘08 Research based study on finding the progress in the field of kidney tissue engineering.

Spring

Enhanced imaging of cardiac fibre orientation ‘08

Spring

Project on optical clearing of cardiac tissue was completed with an aim of finding the most optimal solution that optically clears the heart tissue for enhanced imaging of cardiac fibre structure using Confocal Microscopy. High Frequency X-Ray Simulator Dec ’06-May ‘07 Designed and implemented a High Frequency X-Ray circuit simulator which helped us understand the basic concepts and design steps involved in developing high frequency invertors used in modern X-Ray Generators. Six Sigma Project Fall ‘09 Working as a Team Leader on improving the flow of surgical instruments through the Sterile Process Department at a hospital in Syracuse, NY. Applied Six Sigma Strategies through each of the DMAIC phases to find out the root cause of the problem leading to delays in instrument processing. Boston’s Big Dig Spring ‘09 Analyzed Boston’s Big Dig project which ran into cost and time overrun problems. Analyzed the nature of the problems and came up with possible recovery measures that could be taken to avoid similar mistakes in the future.
