As a research scholar at UC Berkeley, I am currently developing more advanced colorimetric and electrochemical epidermal sensors by utilizing microfluidics. Under the guidance of Professor Ali Javey, I aim to design devices with higher temporal and biochemical precision by concurrently conducting human subject testing.
