Meera Kanakamma Mohan
@meerakanakammamohan
Microscopy scientist and Malayalam AI evaluator who developed low-dose TEM and cryo-TEM workflows at INL.
What I'm looking for
At International Iberian Nanotechnology Laboratory (INL), I developed low-dose TEM and cryo-TEM workflows for beam-sensitive nanomaterials. I analysed microscopy datasets and documented how preparation and imaging conditions affected artefacts.
At Baylor College of Medicine, I developed SMLM/STORM- and FISH-based imaging workflows for genome-architecture research. I interpreted biological imaging data with multidisciplinary collaborators.
My research has also included cryo-EM characterisation of human tyrosinase at Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur and in situ liquid-cell TEM studies of nanobubble dynamics at Nanyang Technological University. I produced a doctoral thesis and an APS Division of Fluid Dynamics oral abstract.
Malayalam is my native language, and I have a strong command of its script, grammar, vocabulary, idiom and cultural context. I review Malayalam text for fluency, clarity and factual plausibility, and I'm developing a Malayalam-language microscopy book for general readers.

Work history, roles, and key accomplishments
Postdoctoral Researcher
International Iberian Nanotechnology Laboratory
Feb 2025 - Jun 2026 (1 year 4 months)
Developed low-dose TEM and cryo-TEM workflows for beam-sensitive nanomaterials and converted complex preparation/imaging effects into reproducible technical documentation. Analysed microscopy datasets, compared preparation pathways, and prepared manuscript-ready figures and captions.
Developed SMLM/STORM- and FISH-based imaging workflows for genome-architecture research and interpreted complex biological imaging data with multidisciplinary collaborators. Communicated experimental rationale and imaging findings, including during a concurrent visiting-scientist appointment at UTMB Galveston.
Senior Technical Officer
The University of Hong Kong
Jan 2022 - Jul 2022 (6 months)
Supported confocal and super-resolution microscopy in a shared biomedical facility, trained users, and translated advanced imaging concepts into practical guidance. Advised researchers on imaging strategy, acquisition, analysis, interpretation, and troubleshooting.
Technology Evangelist / India Representative
Jasper Display Corporation
Dec 2019 - Jun 2021 (1 year 6 months)
Translated spatial-light-modulator, optics, and imaging concepts into clear technical presentations and customer-facing communication. Bridged research, engineering, and business teams, adapting technical information for diverse audiences.
Postdoctoral Scientist
Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur
May 2018 - Mar 2019 (10 months)
Worked on cryo-EM structural characterisation of soluble human tyrosinase, integrating sample preparation, DLS, plunge freezing, screening, and imaging. Reviewed structural-biology literature and interpreted experimental results across protein science and microscopy.
Investigated nanobubble dynamics and nanoconfined liquids using in situ liquid-cell TEM, graphene, and microfabricated silicon-nitride cells. Produced a doctoral thesis and APS Division of Fluid Dynamics oral abstract, and communicated dynamic microscopy results through figures, presentations, and technical discussion.
Research Assistant
Universite Joseph Fourier
Jan 2010 - Sep 2011 (1 year 8 months)
Investigated cavitation in microfluidic channels and fabricated specialised devices using DRIE, RIE, wet etching, and anodic bonding. Documented experimental methods and interpreted interdisciplinary results spanning fluid dynamics, microfabrication, and imaging.
