Talk Title: Digital health and AI: Learnings from three deep-tech start-ups
Abstract: The digital health and diagnostics space is undergoing a radical transformation especially post COVID. The conventional in-person, doctor consultations are rapidly being assisted/substituted by remote tele/video consultations and Direct to consumer care. In this context, point-of-care diagnostic solutions integrated with AI will transform the healthcare industry and will help in providing affordable health care to all. In this talk, he first briefly discussed the general trends in digital health and AI and where future opportunities lie in terms of innovations. He discussed his research efforts for the past 5+ years in the digital health space towards realizing devices for non-invasive BP, fatigue and multi-parameter monitoring. Subsequently, he shared his technical and entrepreneurial journey and learnings as a part of three deep tech biomedical start-ups as CEO, CTO and chief mentor role.

Talk Title: Bioinspired Design for Next-Generation Composites
Abstract: Plants are sessile organisms lacking physical motion and neurological control. Hence a stronger correlation between their structure and mechanical demands is anticipated. Specifically, the thick-walled water conductive xylem lacks the living parenchyma. However, it addresses varying functional needs from efficient thermal and fluid conduction to structural support through rapid structural and compositional modifications independent of the biological process of cell division. The above formed the primary hypothesis for a new research direction of my lab on plant biomechanics where we investigated microstructural and composition changes in plant stem during rapid growth using a combination of material characterization techniques. In this talk, I will provide some outcomes of Plant Biomechanics research and discuss its implications in the design of next-generation composites. I will also give an overview of my lab’s key research directions, including discussing bioinspired design for 2D Materials like MXenes of relevance for sensor design.
