 My name is Durva Naik. I'm a fourth year PhD candidate from Carnegie Mellon University from the Department of Material Science and Engineering at College of Engineering. I come from a small coastal town in India called Karwa. Well, I participated last year and I did not qualify for the finals because of a small hiccup during my speech. So this time around my aim was to finish my speech and winning came as an added accomplishment. So I work on ingestible intestinal retentive devices and one of the things that I had to analyze is the dynamic muscular movements of our small intestine. So I was going through these YouTube videos and it's so weird that the small intestine is like an organism by itself. I could see it moving and if you ever get a chance or the heart to check it out on YouTube, you should really do it. It'll gross you out but it's very exciting to see. Research at Carnegie Mellon is very collaborative. You can network with people who are working on exciting new research. There's always new equipment that you can work on so that is quite thrilling for me.
