Collaborators 

During my postdoctoral tenure, I had the privilege of collaborating with a diverse group of professors at Cornell University and other academic institutions. These collaborations were highly transdisciplinary, spanning a wide range of fields from robotics and mycology to neurobiology, plant science, and horticulture. Here are a few examples of my collaborative projects:

1. Robotic Soil Sampling: Collaborated with Professors Mike Gore and Taryn Bauerle from the Plant Science department.

2. Biohybrid Fungal Robot: Worked with Professor Kathie Hoge (Mycology Department) and Dr. Bruce Johnson (Neurobiology Department) to develop fungal robots. Also collaborated with Prof. Meredith Silberstein (MAE Department) on the development of biohybrid sensors using fungal mycelium for environmental and soil health monitoring as part of my ELMI fellowship.

3. Soft Robotic Scalable Phenotyping: Collaborated with Professor Abe Strook (Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering) and Girish Chowdhary (Agricultural and Biological Engineering) to develop a soft gripper for leaf phenotyping.

4. 3D Printed Soft Gripper for Fruit Harvesting: Collaborated with Prof. Marvin Pritts (Horticulture Department) to develop a soft gripper for picking field strawberries.

5. Electrophysiological Studies: Collaborated with Dr. Bruce Johnson (Neurobiology Department) on intracellular electrophysiology research in animal systems to understand their responses to environmental stimuli.

These collaborations have enriched my research experience and allowed me to contribute to various interdisciplinary projects at the intersection of robotics, biology, and environmental science.
