PROFILE

A Biomedical Engineer with extensive experience in executing projects to

learn the fundamentals of baby skin and develop methods to accurately

access baby product benefits. Designed and developed a microactuator to

sort multiple bioparticles coexisting in an environment based on the

principle of Dielectrophoresis. Demonstrated ability in identifying market

issues, interfaced with clinical customers/physicians, managed budgets and

performed among a team to achieve organizational goals. Areas of expertise

include cleanroom micro-fabrication skills and laboratory safety procedures

with solid understanding of cGMPs, GLPs and FDA regulations. A self

motivated individual with excellent communication skills, team player and a

quick learner.
