About Me

I hold a Ph.D. in natural biomaterials scaffolds designed for biomedical and environmental applications, completed at the Tissue Engineering and Biomicrofluidics Laboratory, IIT (BHU), India. Currently, I serve as an Assistant Professor in Biomedical Engineering at University College of Engineering, Osmania University, Hyderabad, with 11 years of dedicated teaching experience.

Research Focus

3D scaffold fabrication using lyophilization, 3D bioprinting, and electrospinning with natural biomaterials (Luffa cylindrica, Psyllium husk, Silk fibroin) for enhanced tissue compatibility.

Teaching Expertise

Biomedical Equipment, Prosthetic Engineering, Cell and Tissue Engineering, and Biomaterials across undergraduate and postgraduate levels.

Key Achievements

Won first place at iCBIT BiO-IDEATHON 21 for prefilled dual-chamber syringe innovation; Extensive hands-on experience in material characterization and imaging techniques.
