I am currently working as a ORISE Research Fellow (Post-Doctoral) at Division of Biomedical Physics, US FDA, MD. My current research involves developing framework to investigate hyperspectral endoscope systems, and implementing algorithms to analyze hyperspectral images.
Previously, I did my Ph.D. in Bioengineering at Temple University under the supervision of Dr. Chetan A. Patil in the Optical Diagnostic Research Lab (ODRL).
My research involved developing systems, methods, and algorithms for transcutaneous optical diagnostic devices (Pulse Oximeter, Bilirubinometer). Moreover, I was involved with optical properties characterization of tissues and materials to inform computational simulation, and developing fiber optics probe to diagnose musculoskeletal tissues.
My Research Interest Includes-
Biomedical Device Design and Simulation
Wearable Sensors
Image Processing
Monte-Carlo Simulations
Hyperspectral Imaging
Apart from my research works, I have also worked as Teaching Assistant for courses such as- Bioelectrical Lab, Bioinstrumentation and Biomechanics Lab.
