I'm Srinivas, a Hardware engineer at Verily - Google [x] Life Sciences. I work on developing the Google smart contact lens. My background is in MEMS, microfluidic devices. My work focuses on conceptualization and design of experiments, process engineering and microfabrication.
For my PhD, I worked on creating artificial cilia and understanding their kinematics. These hair like micro-structures are useful in a variety of microfluidic devices where active fluid transport is necessary. My work explores the pumping, mixing, particle capture and other transport phenomenon. We use computer simulations performed using commercially available COMSOL and our lattice boltzmann code written in C++/Matlab to validate and understand our findings.
