Abhishek Sharma joined BioMIP in Sept 2010 and has been working as a graduate student intern with the ECCell, MATCHIT, CADMAD and MICREAgents projects. His initial area of competency is physical simulation, coming from a background in surface science and metallurgy at the Indian Institute of Technology, but his work has involved increasingly experimental activities in the areas of fluorescence microscopy, microfluidics and electrochemistry. Recently he has been pioneering the use of bipolar electrochemistry in autonomous CMOS lablets (MICREAgents).
