DC5: Development of advanced microfluidics systems

Supervisor: Dr. Alexander McMillan

Co-supervisor: Prof. Martin Michael Hanczyc (UNITN)

Background

I hold a BS-MS dual degree with a specialization in Physics from IISER Tirupati, India. I possess three years of hands-on research experience in Microfluidics, Biophysics, and Diagnostics, gained through working in both academic and industrial settings. My experience working for a startup in India inspired me to pursue an entrepreneurial PhD opportunity. I am looking forward to working on projects that are not only scientifically exciting but also have the potential to translate into a business opportunity that could be of great significance to the community.
