I work at the intersection of biotechnology, design, and environmental justice. With a background in project management, I recently got a Master of Science degree at NYU Tandon School of Engineering, as a member of the Living Interface laboratory I am contributing to research related to bioremediating hydrogel, and I lead research around LAMP-PCR based biosensor for heavy metal contamination.
My research at Tandon School of Engineering (September 2023 - May 2025) was sponsored by the Fulbright Scholarship.
I focus on the role of emerging biotechnologies in shaping sustainable futures.
My work explores synthetic biology, bioinformatics, and environmental monitoring, especially through community-driven research.
Currently I am focusing on a project that involve developing DNA-based biosensors to detect heavy metal contamination in soil—insisted by the research of the Superfund Site Gowanus Canal in Brooklyn New York. I would like to empower citizen scientists and communities with limited resources in the environmental monitoring efforts through technologies such as LAMP-PCR, microfluidics, and other low-cost diagnostics solutions.
I am a lifelong learner, asking questions, and discovering new things about the world. I believe in the importance of building a dialogue between science and society, as well as importance to spread passion for science and pursue responsible research.
