Postdoctoral Scholar in Nanoengineering, University of California, San Diego
I am a postdoctoral researcher in the lab of Professor Jon Pokorski and am serving as MRSEC Trainee Leadership Group Representative (IRG2). My current research focuses on fabricating biosynthetic materials by integrating genetically engineered cells into polymer composites.
Prior to joining the Pokorski lab, I received my Doctoral degree from the Indian Institute of Technology Guwahati, India. During my PhD research I developed biocompatible gelators from short self-assembling peptides for applications in drug delivery and tissue engineering. In my spare time I enjoys photography, traveling, writing and painting.
