Asma Nawaz, BS
Research Associate II

Asma Nawaz completed her undergraduate degree in biomedical engineering from the University of Southern California in 2019. During her studies, she took an interest in electrical engineering and pursued a project to create a respiratory station for tetraplegic patients to enable them to clear their blocked airways independently, which she did with a team, using a combination of circuitry and a variety of engineering coding software. Following graduation, Nawaz joined the Cingolani Lab as a research associate with a keen interest in utilizing her coding skills to help process experimental data, as well as expanding her knowledge of wet-lab and technical lab procedures. Currently, she is facilitating data analysis and visualization for ongoing experiments, as well as seeking to find novel methods to use her MATLAB skills to create tools for simplifying routine manual analysis of data.
