Chandra J.
PhD Engineer | Technical Consulting & Research
Have a difficult technical problem that requires more than a standard solution? I help companies, startups, researchers, and engineering teams solve complex problems across engineering, AI, scientific computing, data analysis, modeling, simulation, and research. I am a PhD Physicist, Research Scientist, and Engineering Consultant with 20+ years of interdisciplinary experience. My work combines scientific rigor with practical problem solving—from developing computational models and analyzing complex data to evaluating engineering concepts and supporting technical R&D. Selected Credentials ✔ Published in Nature Communications, PNAS, and Journal of Biological Chemistry ✔ Research experience at Cornell University and Duke University Medical Center ✔ University Engineering Physics faculty ✔ Principal Investigator using NSF ACCESS high-performance computing (HPC) How I Can Help ✔ Engineering analysis, modeling & simulation ✔ AI, machine learning & data science ✔ Python, MATLAB & scientific computing ✔ Computational physics & applied mathematics ✔ CFD & numerical analysis ✔ Biomedical engineering, medical imaging & image analysis ✔ Statistical analysis & scientific visualization ✔ Research design, literature review & technical evaluation ✔ Scientific papers, technical reports & documentation ✔ NSF, SBIR/STTR & research proposal support What You Can Expect I approach projects as a researcher and problem solver—not simply as someone completing a task. I first understand the technical objective, identify the appropriate methods, perform the analysis or development carefully, validate the results where possible, and deliver the work in a clear and well-documented form. If your project involves an unusual, interdisciplinary, or technically difficult problem, send me a message with the problem and your desired outcome. I’ll let you know how I would approach it.
