HAMED GHAZIZADEH

Objective I am interested in pursuing a summer internship with the focus on biomedical engineering projects in order to expand my knowledge and hone my skills in Biomedical research, specifically for healthcare.

Research Interests• The use of mechanical stimulation in order to control the cellular functions like cancerous cells.• Biomedical research, specifically for childhood obesity, as the early stage for many related diseases.• Assessment of the toxicity of nanoparticles and their role in human health.

Research/Accomplished ProjectsStudy of • Cellular behavior under cyclic mechanical forces • Differentiation of 3T3/ L1 cells to lipid (fat) cells as the process of adipogenesis.• Cytotoxic effects of nanoparticles at cellular level• Cellular genotoxicity of nanoparticles

Performing• The soft lithography processes in fabricating Nano-scale materials in cleanroom environment• The crack-free deposition of metals on rubber polymers for the purpose of sensors• The testing of mechanical properties (tensile/compression/shear strength) of solid materials• The soft lithography fabrication for desired design using PDMS (Polydimethylsiloxane)• Inkjet printing of conductive nanoparticles in order to create desired designs for conductive substrates
