      yes. I came up with a idea to reduce size, power requirements and increase speed of Burst mode receiver. The results are not yet published in conference or journals so I dont think you would be able to look it up.

      Yes I am currently filing out paperwork for a patent but this is a very long process. It will take at least a year (it usually takes a few years) and alooottt of money before it will be accepted.

      A biosensor that can detect pancreatic cancer or infectious diseases (depending what you’re looking for) by the patient, without a doctor or a lab. It’s quick and accurate, and it’s particularly helpful in third world countries, where you don’t have a lot of medical resources, or in an emergency room in a hospital, where every minute counts when it comes to survival of the patient and quick diagnosis can make all the difference. It’s an optical detection method (using laser s or LED light).

      I invented a new way to separate white and red blood cells from each other on a spinning disk. It was only a short project I was working on in my final year of college but I got a conference presentation from it! I can’t tell you the rest in case you steal any of my ideas! 😛

      I made a 3d printer that prints gel into a liquid environment so that it can print either cells directly or a material that will degrade to be replaced by the cells as they grow! It took months but it is great to finish it up!
