Teaching Assistant @ From August 2014 to Present (1 year 5 months) Hyderabad Area, IndiaSummer Research Intern @ 1) Undergone research project titled “Synthesis and application of nanorattles (gold nanostructures)”. 2) Compiled a literature review on book chapter entitled “Biosensing applications of gold nanostructures". From June 2015 to July 2015 (2 months) Mandi Area, IndiaRitsumeikan Science & Engineering Indo-Japan PBL academic exchange program @ Undergone various problem based learning themes during RiSE Indo-Japan academic exchange program: 1) Robots – integration in health care Technology is revolutionizing the medical field with the creation of robotic devices and complex imaging. Integration of robot medical device in healthcare to carry out both invasive as well as minimally invasive surgery will greatly enhances precision, flexibility and control during entire operation and allows surgeon/physician to better see the site, compared with traditional techniques. Surgeons can perform extremely delicate and complex procedures that may have been nearly difficult or impossible with other methods. Also to mention, reducing complexities on already existed robotic devices will definitely aid to doctor as well as patients w.r.t surgical procedures. Application of Japanese advanced technology especially in medical field involving minimally invasive surgery with computed assisted robot. 2) Healthcare in India Five things one should know about India’s healthcare system • Rural vs urban division • Underdeveloped medical device sector • Growing pharmaceutical sector • Demand for basic primary healthcare & infrastructure • Need for effective payment mechanism 3) Electrical and electronics equipments Fabrication of two or more electrical and electronic equipments will lead to manufacture/invent more sophisticated lab on a chip devices with high methodology like point of care testing (POCT). Point of Care Testing is as medical diagnostic testing performed outside the clinical laboratory in close proximity to where the patient is receiving care. POCT is typically performed by non-laboratory personnel and the results are used for clinical decision making. Incorporation of POCT devices to rural India, especially under-served population as primary health care measures will certainly provide range of advantages mainly, early diagnosis, rapid analysis and cost effective treatment.
