Current Research Scholars
Manoj is working on characterization and biosensing of body fluids, specifically tears and blood. Using a host of techniques such as optical tweezers, and inductance spectroscopy, he aims to identify easy-to-detect features in data collected using such fluids. Pre-doctoral background: Biomedical Engg.
Mahitha aims to understand the dynamics of extracellular vesicles, in the context of pulmonary injury. She is interested in designing an in-vitro experimental model of ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI), amenable to imaging. Pre-doctoral background: Mechanical Engg.
Vimal aims to understand the dynamics of extracellular vesicles, in the context of cancer progression. Specifically, he is studying the role of external confinement in regulating the characteristics of extracellular vesicles. He has a Masters training in Zoology.
