Projects

I work on a variety of projects and below, you can find a list of some of my current as well as archived projects!

Microscopy for All

In partnership with Johns Hopkins ISPEED program, I host an annual 2 day workshop where I teach students the principles of microscopy and have them build their own low-cost, easy to assemble microscope. The microscope runs on a raspberry pi and all instructions and assembly guides are available at this Github repository.

PopsiCam

In partnership with the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, I am building a cost-accessible minituarized microscope for non-invasive blood cell imaging. The goal would be to use this scope to image blood cells for a wide variety of applications such as blood cell infections, sickle cell characterization and anemia detection. This microscope is easy to use, low cost, and will be widely available in low-resource settings.

Stand Up Comedy

I took a class on stand up comedy in college (shout out to COLL:149 Can the Real Comedian Please Stand Up) and have been hooked on performing stand up when I get the chance. So far, I have performed stand up comedy at a couple of open-mics and bars in around Baltimore City. I actually won best comedian at my first open mic in Baltimore and got $20. I took my girlfriend out to Taco Bell (best 20 bucks ever spent!).
