Diya Pillai
Bio
I hold a Master’s degree in Physics from Vellore Institute of Technology, where I discovered my passion for interdisciplinary research. This enthusiasm led me to transition into the field of biomaterials research. Currently, I am pursuing a PhD in Biomedical Engineering under the guidance of Dr. Vipuil Kishore at the Florida Institute of Technology. My current research focuses on developing collagen-based gradient scaffolds that provide the essential biophysical and biochemical cues to guide cell function for ACL reconstruction applications. A notable milestone in my career was my experience conducting research at the National Aerospace Laboratories (NAL), India. Looking ahead, I aspire to make significant contributions to the field of biomedical engineering and assume a leadership role within the industry.
