WORK EXPERIENCE:
> Graduate Research Assistant, Ophthalmology, UT Southwestern
August 2010 - Present
. Worked on design and development of enhancements to in-house
software for interactive 3-D viewing and analysis of corneal images
using Visual Studio 2008 on .NET Framework.
. Assisted with modifications to a Heidelberg Instruments Confocal
Corneal Microscope that allowed the focal plane position to be
controlled using a motorized lens drive system, instead of by hand.
. Developed a Windows program for serial communication with the motor
drive that allows the user to control the speed of the lens and the
position of the focal plane.
. Achievements: These hardware and software modifications have been
licensed and installed in the R&D department of a major corporation,
and are being used for corneal imaging in their research.
. Related Publication: Co-author, with W. M. Petroll, 'Quantitative
Corneal Imaging In Vivo Using a Modified HRT- RCM Confocal
Microscope' ARVO Annual Meeting, Fort Lauderdale, FL, May 2011.
Graduate Research Assistant, Radiology, UT-Southwestern
February 2010 - July 2010
. Worked on a Gulf war illness project investigating whether there is
any brain damage on gulf war deployed subjects.
. Patient consenting, Data acquisition on Siemens 3T magnet, data
processing using AFNI, FSL and MATLAB.
. Project: Voxel wise T2 analysis on gulf war subjects to determine if
there is any T2 variation in sub-cortical regions of the brain,
which may suggest demyelination.
. Publication: Co-author,
- Abnormal striatal functional connectivity in Gulf War Illness:
effects of modulating fcMRI continuous states. Abstract 4591
- FMRI reveals abnormal central sensory processing in Gulf War
Illness. Abstract 4542, both submitted and accepted to 19th ISMRM,
Montreal, Canada, May 7-13, 2011.
Service Engineer: Philips Healthcare - Meditronics, Mumbai, India
June 2008 - December 2008
Carried out assembling, testing and calibration installation of X-
Ray machine. Also, inspected X-ray machines for repairing,
rebuilding and preventive maintenance
ACADEMIC PROJECTS:
. Implemented different types of filters using MATLAB for signal
processing to extract Frequency and Amplitude from Bio-electric
signals (ECG, EEG and EMG).
. Designed a Windows Image converter-using VC++ 6 to convert a DICOM
image to JPEG, TIFF and BMP formats. The application can also
extract the patient data embedded in DICOM image and saves it in a
text file.
