Background in biotechnology and applied chemistry, with experience building field-ready diagnostic systems. Current work focuses on developing low-cost sensing and interpretation methods to make complex biological and chemical processes measurable outside the lab. This includes designing colorimetric assays, strip-based diagnostics, and sensor-integrated systems for real-world use. The broader problem being addressed is the lack of reliable, accessible ways to verify system state in environments like agriculture, water systems, and supply chains. Most measurements today are either lab-bound or difficult to interpret in practice. The focus is on creating practical diagnostics that enable consistent, field-level decision making.
