Shalini  Prasad
|Shalini  Prasad: 
Shalini Prasad received her Bachelor's degree in Electronics and Communication Engineering from University of Madras in 2000. She then worked for Motorola India Electronics Limited (MIEL) from 2000-2001 designing cellular telephony interfaces. She obtained her PhD in Electrical Engineering from University of California Riverside in 2004. Dr. Prasad's research interests are multi-disciplinary. They include Bio-Micro Electrical Mechanical Systems (Bio-MEMS), nano-devices and nano/biotechnology. Her current research interests focus on towards developing "lab-on-a-chip" based devices for sensing applications that impact such areas as medical diagnostics, the environment, and bio-defense applications. Her work has been reported in number of peer reviewed journals and popular press. She is the recipient of a number of awards in the area of nano-biotechnology. Most recently she has been listed in the 2006-2007 edition of Marquis Who's who in Science and Engineering.
