Global Ph.D. Fellow, Mechanical Engineering, New York University (NYU), 2016–2021
As a Global Ph.D. Fellow in Mechanical Engineering at NYU, I completed my Ph.D. under the guidance of Prof. Yong-Ak (Rafael) Song. The fellowship provided a full tuition waiver, competitive stipend, housing, and research support, enabling me to begin coursework in New York City and complete research at NYU Abu Dhabi. My research focused on micro- and nanoscale soft interfacial fracture mechanics, utilizing bioinspired engineering models to address complex challenges.
NYUAD Postdoctoral Collaborative Grant
Received a Postdoc Collaborative Research Grant of $5,000 from NYU Abu Dhabi. This esteemed award enabled my visit to New York University’s campuses in New York in July 2023, providing a valuable opportunity for collaboration with peers, delivery of academic presentations, and further enhancement of my research. We worked with Prof. Nikhil Gupta at NYU New York on developing countermeasures for material-level Trojan attacks on flow-based biochips and delivered a talk at the City University of New York (CUNY).
NYU-IITK (NSF-DST) SEED Grant
Received a SEED Research Grant from IIT Kanpur, in collaboration with NYU. The grant supports the project “NSF-DST: Unconventional Physically Unclonable Functions for Micro-fluidics and Supply Chain Fingerprinting,” with a tripartite collaboration between NYU, NYUAD, and IIT Kanpur. Funded with $20,000 from NYU and ₹1,500,000 from IIT Kanpur, the grant period spans from April 1, 2024, to March 31, 2025, focusing on advancing security technologies in bioengineering.
