Achievements

I invented an optical liquid fingerprinting technology that won R&D 100 Award in 2013, was featured in popular media, including Scientific American, Chemical & Engineering News, Discover, and Materials Today. I co-founded Validere Technologies in 2015, which makes a portable diagnostic device containing this technology that can rapidly provide critical information about any liquid on the device itself or to your smartphone. It won the Harvard Physical Sciences & Engineering Accelerator Award and has raised >$600k non-dilutively from customers and government contracts.
