• Final year thesis titled "Development of Ultra-Low-Cost Retinal Imaging Device" under the supervision of Associate Professor Ramesh Raskar, MIT Media Arts and Sciences Group; Head, Camera Culture Group, MIT Media Arts and Sciences.
• I improved the design of a modular self-aligned fundus camera earlier developed by Research Assistant Tristan Swedish. My responsibilities were improving the optics design using optical design software Zemax; mechanical design for faster and easier device manufacturability in Solidworks and building a stand-alone software package in Linux environment for enabling automated retinal image capture.
• I further extended the self-aligned fundus camera model to develop an ultra-low-cost retinal camera that costs under $90 in parts as compared to the commercially available $12000 state-of-the-art devices.
