My undergrad was in Mechanical Engineering from IIT Guwahati in India. I did my Masters from Purdue University, USA in Industrial Engineering and then worked for 4 years as an Operations Research Analyst in United States Coastguard. After that, I did my PhD from IIT Bombay, India on energy efficient building design. During my 1st Postdoc from MIT, Cambridge, USA, I extended my work from building to urban scale to the design of outdoor public spaces for thermal comfort using urban microclimate modelling and big data analytics of Wi-Fi data as a proxy to occupant behavior. While I was at MIT, I got very interested in “How to make almost anything?” philosophy. My interests in “making” got me to my next Postdoc to work on medical device development in the University of Leeds, UK.
I am sharing details about my previous research and hobbyist projects in making.
This research is about design and fabrication of an automated spray medical device “ChromoSpray” to improve chromo endoscopic surveillance for Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD). I was a Postdoc at Dept. of Mech. Engg., University of Leeds, UK from Jan 2018 till Jan 2019 for carrying out this work.
