Prachi Pandey

Graduate Student Researcher (GSR) at UC Davis

Biological Engineering Systems graduate with a strong academic foundation and a results-driven approach. Proficient in bio-process optimization, I bring hands-on experience in designing and implementing innovative solutions for complex biological challenges, employing techniques such as HPLC, GCMS and solid phase extraction. My research background includes exploring cutting-edge methodologies, including ozonation and aeration, to enhance efficiency and output in biological processes. A collaborative team player with excellent communication skills, I am eager to contribute my diverse skill set to the dynamic field of biological engineering, aiming to make a meaningful impact through ongoing research and advancements in a professional setting.
