Research
My work broadly focuses on developing microscale platforms to spatiotemporally decode and control biological transport processes. By leveraging microfabrication tools to quantitatively investigate and interface with plant and cellular biology, I aim to advance both sustainable agriculture and human health.

Root-on-chip for nanocarrier delivery
Most fertiliser is lost before plants can take it up. Carbon-dot nanocarriers could deliver nutrients precisely, but it is hard to know how much actually reaches a root. I am building a microfluidic root-on-chip with a built-in hydrogel reservoir to measure how these carriers move through the gel, and a transport model to predict what the root receives.

Mapping cytokine signals in organoids
Immune cells in tumour organoids communicate through cytokines, but standard assays average over the whole sample. I am developing an inverse-reconstruction method that recovers where and when cytokines were released from a sparse array of bead sensors held in a 3D-printed scaffold, and using it to decide how that scaffold should be designed.

Li-ion battery pack modelling
Showed that load-time imbalance grows with parallel strings and busbar-resistance spread, and that busbar open-circuit faults cause permanent imbalance.
