RESEARCH
EXPERIENCE Graduate Researcher: Transonic System INC, Ithaca, NY (Aug 2010- May 2011)
• Designed and developed a device which aids the insertion and removal of Transonic System’s ultrasonic flow
sensor transducer, to smoothly deliver the necessary couplant for an accurate sensor reading used in conjunction
with Da Vinci Surgery, and to allow for the maintenance of the sterile field by devising a two-component signal
connector.
Nano-biotechnolgy Project: Cornell University, Ithaca, NY (Sep 2010- Dec 2011)
• Designed and proposed an experimental procedure on the effect of vessel size and curvature on cancer cell-
endothelial cell interaction. The goal was to study the relationship between the expression of Galectin-3(binding
protein) in addition to the adhesion of breast cancer tumor cells and the diameter and curvature of blood vessel
through the use of an optically transparent micro fluidic device with channels of varying diameters and
curvature to mimic the vessels in the body. These channels would be seeded with human lung microvasculature
endothelial cells (HLMVECs).
Internship(USRP INTERN): NASALangley Research Center, Hampton, VA (Jan 2010- April 2010)
• Developed and tested a hardware and software application that breaks down brain waves and transfers the brain
wave data wirelessly to PC through Bluetooth under the supervision of Dr. Alan T. Pope. The project was called
“Brain wave Error Guard System” and I used BASIC Stamp and Visual Basic programming language to
complete this project.
• I was featured as Center Snapshot at NASA Langley Research center on April 30, 2010.
Design Project: University Of Minnesota, Twin Cities.(September2008-May 2009)
• Developed an endovascular treatment for Cerebral Aneurysm. We used liquid embolic which consisted mainly
of polyethylene Glycol Dimethacrylate and was photo-polymerized in the aneurysm in the presence of Photo-
initiator Eosin Y.
Undergraduate Research: University of Minnesota, Twin Cities. (September 2007-May 2008)
• Assisted with Brain Computer Interface and Functional MRI Project by participating both as a researcher and
subject.
• Helped the subject to control the cursor on the computer by the motor imagination during the experiment.
• Found and analyzed a relationship between the patterns in brain waves such as a decrease or increase in
synchronicity of alpha and beta waves and motor visualization performed by the subject.
WORK
EXPERIENCE Inventory Manager: Southland Corporation INC, Ocean Pines, MD. (May 2010- Aug 2010)
• Kept the track of the merchandise sold or left on the shelves and placing the order if needed.
• Looked after the store during the usual work schedule.
Undergraduate Research Assistant: Department of Bio-medical Engineering, U of M, Twin Cities. (Sep 2007- May
2008)
• Helped to set up the experiment and to administrate the project.
• Collected, saved and analyzed the recorded data.
• Developed the skills in the different types of motor imagination that assist in acquiring the control to use the
communication technique in Brain Computer Interface.
Security Monitor: University of Minnesota Security Monitor Program under University of Minnesota Police
Department. (Sep 2006-Dec 2009)
• Secured the University Property details and assisted UMPD in maintaining safe and healthy environment around
the University area.
General Chemistry I, and CalculusI Tutor: Centre for Academic success MNSU, Mankato. (Jan 2006 –May 2006)
• Helped student to solve problems related to the subject.
Sales Associate: Southland Corporation INC, SuperFresh, Oceancity, Maryland. (May2005-Aug2005)
• Interacted with Customers and seld Products.
ACTIVITIES Member of Biomedical Engineering Student Society (BMES) Ithaca, NY. (Fall 2010- Present)
Member of Indian Student Association (ISA) Minneapolis. (Fall 2006-Fall 2007)
Member of Nepalese Student Association(NSA), Minneapolis. (Jan 2008-Present)
Activities Coordinator: Nepalese Student Community (NeSTCom) Mankato. (2005-2006)
• Organized different Activities related to Nepalese Community including the fund raising program
Volunteered work: Culturalmania, South Asian night, Nepal Night and international Festival at MNSU. (2005-2006)
: Small World Coffe Hour at U of M ( 2009-2010)
Food coordinator: Nepal night, supported by international student office, MNSU, Mankato. (September 2005).
