Biosketch I am a doctoral candidate working with Dr. Cunjiang Yu in the department of Mechanical Engineering since 2016. Before joining the department, I worked as Senior Research Analyst for 3 years where I worked with scientists and engineers who have innovative views towards future technology in the field of medical devices, consumer electronics and the sector of energy. It provided me a drive for working in innovation and research, especially for the healthcare sector. For the past four years, I have been working towards development of wearable electronics, investigating electronic materials and devices to innovate new biocompatible wearable gadgets for application in the physiological diagnosis of human health through direct soft bio-electronic interfaces. Over the span, I have bagged a few scholarships and awards including presidential scholarships and TcSUH Cora Hawley Scholarship. I have also been opportune to get undergraduate and graduate students who were highly motivated for research and demonstrated great progress working with me.
