Post-graduate Research Associate, NanoBio Lab, UT Arlington
Welcome
Thanks for visiting my site!
My friends call me "Arif". I graduated in Spring 2014 with a Ph.D degree from UT Arlington and presently working as post-graduate fellow in the NanoBio lab. With a major in Electrical Engineering (EE). My work involved Cancer cells, proteins and DNA in both lab and simulation environment. I pursue a dream to establish a bridge between the two worlds of biology and electronics, where both this seemingly distant branches of science can interact, interchange and interoperate.
During my PhD, I worked on understanding the mystery of cell surface interactions; how such interactions can be guided towards developing novel detection methods for cancer. I also explored the molecular dynamics world to simulate these interactions in the context of nanopore, yet another exciting device.
Evolving biology is a continuing mystery to me, where every chance is there for things to go WRONG, but it still keeps going RIGHT, creating wonderful "devices" and reaching still un-achievable territories of the silicon science. There are eyes we cant eye as sensor yet, there are ears with hearing superseding any electronics. Smell, touch, memory; the list is too long. How and why? I want to know.
