Research

computational modelling of cell dynamics in flows, microfluidics cell sorting and characterisation, real-time AI algorithms, in-vitro models for drug delivery

Cancer Models, Cardiovascular Models

Interests

I am interested in sorting cells from patient blood that can be used to build complex in-vitro models. I have expertise in computational modelling of flow and mass transport, and AI-image based ultrahigh-throughput mechanical characterisation and label-free cell sorting. I am interested in using these tools to understand and develop microfluidics-based in-vitro models such as organ-chips.
