Journal of Contemporary Dental Science and Research
Material Science professional with over 10 years of experience in research and development, combining industry-driven innovation with strong academic depth. Specialized in the development and characterization of biomaterials for medical devices and Implants, with a focus on absorbable polymers, bio-ceramics (such as hydroxyapatite and β-tricalcium phosphate), and composite scaffolds used in orthopedics, tissue engineering, and regenerative medicine.
Currently working as a Research Scientist in a leading MedTech company, I have successfully led multiple projects from material selection to final product development, aligned with global regulatory standards such as FDA 21 CFR, EU MDR, and CDSCO India. My expertise covers the entire product lifecycle, including concept design, material processing, functional testing, biocompatibility evaluation, and risk analysis as per ISO 10993, ISO 13485, and ISO 14971 standards.
I have hands-on experience in biopolymer and bio ceramic processing such as solution casting, sol-gel processing, wet chemical processing and sintering for biomaterial-based implants. My work spans across orthopedic grafts, rotator cuff repair scaffolds, cartilage patches, and drug delivery coatings. I’ve developed Poly Lactic acid composites as absorbable implants, chitosan, collagen-based and synthetic polymer composite implants coated with PCL and calcium phosphate for enhanced biocompatibility and mechanical performance.
I have authored 7 international research publications and contributed significantly to scientific writing, technical documentation, and patent drafting. I am skilled in intellectual property strategy, having worked closely with patent attorneys and R&D teams for innovation protection and competitive technology mapping.
Proficient in a wide array of characterization techniques including FTIR, XRD, SEM, TGA, DSC, Contact Angle, UTM, and degradation studies, I use these tools to validate material performance and ensure product consistency.
In addition to technical depth, I bring strong cross-functional collaboration skills, working closely with quality assurance, regulatory affairs, clinical teams, and external research collaborators to bring innovations to market.
