At IIT Madras, I've advanced a point-of-care tuberculosis diagnostic from concept to a TRL-4 prototype, owning requirements, technical trade-offs, and validation planning.

I've co-authored and executed 2 cr+ in national grant funding, building the technical case, translational rationale, and commercialization pathway while managing milestone reporting. I work across clinicians, AI/ML collaborators, industry partners, and regulatory advisors to keep technical development aligned with real translation needs.

I also build market and technology intelligence tools: across four WHO datasets covering 215 countries, I developed a prioritisation model and deployed dashboard that identified a rapid-test coverage threshold reshaping decisions across about 10 countries.

I'm a co-inventor on a granted tuberculosis-detection patent and first author of an under-review manuscript on Ag85B screening. My work combines biomedical engineering, technology transfer, product requirements, data analysis, and practical pathways from research to adoption.
