Bio
Alumnus (2021), currently a PhD student at UCLA
I'm a senior undergraduate at UC Davis majoring in Biomedical Engineering with a specialization in medical devices, and I’m interested in microfluidics and microfabrication.
Currently, I'm investigating targeted drug delivery to the epileptic foci of the brain via prospective implants. To prevent epileptic attacks, anti-seizure pharmaceuticals need to cross blood-brain barrier and deliver doses in a timely manner. Implants coated with drug-loaded nanoporous gold can possibly deliver medications with high temporal resolution. At present, I’m performing preliminary studies on refillable in-plane transport drug delivery using this material.
