Arvind Balijepalli (Fed)

Project Leader

Dr. Balijepalli is a Project Leader in the Physical Measurement Laboratory at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). He received his Ph.D. at the University of Maryland, College Park. He joined NIST after completing a joint National Research Council postdoctoral fellowship between NIST and the National Institutes of Health. At NIST, he develops new chip-scale sensing techniques to enable measurements of fundamental biophysical phenomenon at multiple scales ranging from biomolecular interactions of proteins, nucleic acids and small molecules to measurements of dynamics in cell and tissue mimics.
