Research assistant
Oregon state university
I am Nima Ahmadkhani, a second-year PhD student in Bioengineering at Oregon State University (OSU). Currently immersed in the realm of High-Throughput Methods for Design of Cryopreservation Procedures, I bring a wealth of expertise and innovation to the field.
My academic journey has been marked by significant accomplishments. My Master's thesis, titled "Design and Fabrication of Microfluidic Chip for Selection of Functional Sperm," showcased my expertise in microfluidics and reproductive biology. Moreover, I have made notable strides in the fabrication of robust scaffolds featuring intricate microfluidic channels, using cutting-edge bio-printing technology.
Within the laboratory, my proficiencies extend to various domains:
Mastery of 3D cell culture techniques, including culture methodologies, 3D printing, microstructure engineering, and advanced microscopy.
Profound understanding of rat mesenchymal stem cell extraction from bone marrow, coupled with expertise in conducting PrestoBlue assays.
Proficient in device design, fabrication, and automation through utilization of software tools such as Matlab, R Software, AutoCAD, and COMSOL, complemented by my adeptness in soft and photolithography techniques.
Skilled in the analysis of substantial datasets using advanced software like FIJI/ImageJ, enabling precise data interpretation.
My repertoire isn't confined to technical expertise alone; I am also well-versed in essential soft skills:
Artful science communication tailored for diverse audiences, including those with limited scientific background, encompassing adeptness in delivering impactful presentations and crafting insightful articles.
A team-oriented approach that fosters collaborative environments and fuels interdisciplinary breakthroughs.
A proven ability in mentoring and guiding undergraduate students, facilitating their academic growth and nurturing their scientific curiosity.
My dedication to pushing the boundaries of bioengineering, coupled with my comprehensive skill set, positions me as a formidable contributor to the world of innovative research. I eagerly anticipate sharing my insights and discoveries at the upcoming conference, fostering a platform for exchange, education, and growth.
