Cambridge, Massachusetts, United States
I am interested in developing rheometric methods and constitutive models to measure and predict the flow and deformation properties of complex fluids / soft matter
Advisor: Prof Gareth McKinley Developing rheological characterization tools to create a rheology database and machine learning platform for industrial processing of polymer melts.
- Serving on various working groups (Graduate Housing, Residential Postering, Electric Scooter, etc) to provide student input for institute-wide policies - Consulting regularly with the dormitory officers and Sustainability group representatives to jointly find methods to enhance the student life experience
Advisor: Prof Maggie Qi Developing multiscale computational models with biomedical applications. The project focused on the migration of leukocytes (white blood cells) to the site of inflammation.
Final Year Dissertation - Novel Thin Film Cascade Photocatalytic Flow Reactor Supervisor: Prof Saif A. Khan, Dr Dogancan Karan Investigated a novel reactor design through simulation (Solidworks, COMSOL Multiphysics) and experiments to promote photochemical reactions for pharmaceutical applications
- Oversaw the execution of four large-scale productions (Hallplay, Chinese Drama, The Dream Composition, Amplitude), including coordinating for venue booking, fundraising, sponsor liaison and publicity through external partners for the smooth running of the events - Navigated through the uncertainties of the COVID-19 pandemic on live performances through sustained engagement with the Senior Common Room Committee (SCRC) and other stakeholders to ensure that all physical rehearsals are compliant with safe management measures
- Planned and conducted one-on-one H2 Math and Chemistry tuition lessons for junior college students, Math lessons for secondary school students - Enhanced learning experience of tutees through conceptual questions
- Supported the technical transfer of a blockbuster drug product to the sterile fill-and-finish manufacturing line through execution of qualification activities on equipment such as the vial washer, sterilization tunnel and autoclave - Drafted preliminary versions of protocols and SOPs that supported the smooth operation of the facility, such as module cleaning assessment and continuous product verification - Collected data to aid the principal investigator on process deviation investigations to understand the root causes and prevent recurrences - Gained a better understanding of current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP) and Good Documentation Practices in the context of the pharmaceutical industry, trained in gowning requirements for CNC / Grade D and Grade C clean room areas
