Conformable Decoders
  • Research Assistant

Aastha earned her bachelors in Mechanical Engineering at BITS-Pilani, Goa (India)
during which time she completed her undergraduate thesis in the design and
characterization of structural joints with hybrid lightweight materials at Technische
Universität - Braunschweig (Germany). 


She then explored materials, design and engineering of surgical implants and
biomedical devices (with a focus on prosthetics) during her Masters in Bioengineering at
the University of California, Berkeley (USA). Post-graduation, she pursued a career in
R&D at a medical device consultancy in the Greater Boston Area - leading projects in
design, experimentation and benchtop validation of extracorporeal fluid circuits,
automated injection pens and RF cauterization devices. 


At the conformable decoders, Aastha is passionate about bringing together technology
and design from different realms to create flexible on-body sensors that can subtly and
meaningfully extract patterns from the ever-dynamic human physiology and enhance self-awareness of the body and mind.
