Profile
I am a Research Fellow at the University of Leeds. I am experienced in the development and testing of orthopaedic medical devices, with expertise in several areas such as biocompatibility testing, standards development, biotribology, nanomaterial characterization and image analysis. I have a PhD in Biomedical Engineering from Durham University, UK and a BTech in Chemical Engineering from Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi. Prior to my PhD, I worked in the Tissue Engineering Labs, Harvard Medical School, USA.
Research interests
- Development of next generation platforms for biological evaluation of orthopaedic and dental biomaterials/devices.
