About me

Hello!

I completed my Master's in Biomedical Engineering,

specializing in MedTech Innovation & Entrepreneurship.

I originally grew up in Toronto, Canada after my family and I immigrated ​in 2001 from India, by way of the Middle East.

In 2020 I graduated from the University of Toronto and relocated to ​North Carolina to complete my Post-Bacc at UNC-Greensboro.

In Greensboro, I volunteered for a non-profit creating recreational ​prosthetic limbs for children using 3D printers. This experience became ​my cornerstone in pursuing graduate school and brought me to the ​Joint Department of Biomedical Engineering at NC State and UNC!

The main focus of our graduate program, was ​developing a medical device to address Hospital ​Acquired Pressure Injuries (HAPIs)

May 2022, we embarked on a Discovery Phase ​partaking in over 200 hours of Clinical Immersion ​interviewing healthcare providers, observing ​surgical procedures and shadowing in the hospital.

We identified a crucial need to address and have ​successfully designed, built and tested our first ​functional prototype.

We are currently developing a path to market ​strategy including FDA classification, patent ​creation and funding recruitment

We spent a semester building a

Catheter Introducer System

from concept to a fully assembled

and packaged product

It gave us an opportunity to

practice CAD, 3D Printing and

Plastic Injection Molding Techniques.

Also, an opportunity to learn

industry standard design and

manufacturing practices

While 2/3 of our curriculum focuses on ​Engineering based courses.

The remainder is business driven, allowing us to ​take 3 MBA courses during our program.

The second medical device project I am working ​on focuses on the commercialization of an NC ​State Patented technology to a

medical device for early Sepsis detection

We are currently finalizing our proof of concept ​as we apply to SBIR grants.
