He fabricates the prototypes, hardware and circuit boards that the center’s research projects depend on.

Her research is focused on studying how continuous glucose monitoring is related to the amount of hemoglobin A1c (glycated hemoglobin), especially in hemoglobinopathies. In her free time, she likes to read books, listen to podcasts, and go to the gym!

He is currently developing a low-cost, chromatography-based system for the broad-spectrum detection of viruses. In his free time, he enjoys watching horror movies and baking!

Her research interests are in downstream processing, application of scientific machine learning for the modeling of chromatography, and development of microfluidic chromatography columns. In her free time, she loves to travel, paint, play basketball and cook traditional Indian food!

He is currently working on building hybrid models which combine mechanistic models with targeted machine learning to gain insight into unknown system behavior. He lives in Washington, D.C. with his wife and their cat, who assists in writing and debugging code. In his free time, he enjoys trying new restaurants with friends in his pursuit of finding the best burger. The current front-runner is the West Texas burger at Burger Republic in Nashville!

She is interested in implementing sensing capabilities to culture flasks (especially Grex) to improve process understanding and develop soft sensors to enable process decision-making without sampling. Her work aims to contribute to the overall automation trend as well as the effort of meeting current good manufacturing practice (cGMP) requirement and reducing operational risk. Applications include treatments like adoptive T cell therapy (ACT), in which Chemistry, Manufacturing and Control (CMC) plays a critical role in patient access. Adding monitoring capabilities to convenient and high throughput flasks can improve not only robustness and scalability, but ultimately patient safety and efficacy. In her free time, she likes reading and listening to music!

Her interests lie at the intersection of hardware automation and gerontechnology, specifically focusing on how embedded systems can be used to build accessible devices for older adults. In her free time, she enjoys thrifting, cooking, and listening to EDM, OPM, and jazz.

In his free time, he likes to hike and take care of his pet reptiles!

She is mentored by Dr. Venkatesh Srinivasan and Dr. Govind Rao. Her research interests include cellular and molecular biology, cell and gene therapy, and translational biomedical research. As an aspiring physician-scientist, she is passionate about advancing biomedical research and making healthcare more accessible and equitable for all communities. Outside of the lab, she enjoys cosplay, cooking, and singing!

She is mentored by Dr. Venkatesh Srinivasan and Dr. Govind Rao. Her research interests include scientific computing, translational biomedical technology and neurotechnology. She is currently conducting scoping reviews on FDA-approved technologies and regulatory landscapes to support the development of a novel breast cancer screening device. Outside of the lab, she loves watching movies and spending time with her friends.

She is mentored by Dr. Chad Sundberg and Dr. Govind Rao. Her research interests include synthetic biology and biological engineering. She currently works on expression of therapeutics in cell-free systems. In her free time, she likes cooking, sewing, and listening to music!

Her research interests focus on microfluidics and the development of portable diagnostic tools. She is currently working on engineering Oxygen Supply for High-Yield Biologics in Breathable Shake Flasks. After graduation, she plans to pursue graduate studies in biomedical engineering. Outside of the lab, she enjoys cooking, watching movies with friends, and camping.
