Biography
I am currently head of microfluidics engineering at Hunter Biodiscovery Inc., leading engineering of the Company’s ultra-high-throughput microfluidics screening platform. Together with our biology and bioinformatics teams, we advance the discovery of novel synergistic drug combinations by deliberately screening vast matrices of drugs on live cells using our microfluidics technology.
​
Prior to this, I was a postdoc research fellow at the Center of Engineering in Medicine at Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School, working with Dr. Daniel Irimia and Dr. Mehmet Toner on developing microfluidic devices and assays to probe the motility of immune cells for diagnosis of infection and inflammation disorders and profile anti-tumor activities of CAR-T cells.
​
During my Ph.D., I worked with Dr. Ian Papautsky on developing inertial microfluidic devices for high-throughput label-free cell sorting and focusing. I also worked on developing microfluidic electrochemical impedimetric biosensors and paper microfluidics.
​
In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my wife, our son and pet conure Pesto, reading non-fiction books, listening to classic music, and playing piano.
