Wan Wardatul Amani Wan Salim received her B.Sc. and M.Sc. in Electrical Engineering from the University of Minnesota Twin Cities in 2001 and 2003, respectively, and her Ph.D in BioMEMS and Microelectronics from the Weldon School of Biomedical Engineering at the Purdue University in 2009. She conducted her first postdoctoral research in the School of Engineering Education at Purdue University where she studied problem formulation in model-eliciting-activities of first-year engineering students.
She continued her postdoctoral research training at the Department of Biological Engineering, where she was the Principal Investigator of SporeSat, an autonomous, free-flying three-unit (3U) spacecraft funded by NASA (www.sporesat.org). In 2012, Dr Amani received the Thora Halstead Young Investigator's award for her work on the Cell-Electrophysiology Lab-on-a-chip, an interdisciplinary project joining biology and fluid physics at the national conference for the American Society for Gravitational and Space Research (ASGSR). Dr. Amani has published in various journals, including Langmuir, Analytical Chemistry and Nanotechnology. Dr. Amani received postdoctoral research award from Sigma Xi and a Fellowship Recognition from Eta Kappa Nu Electrical Engineering Honours Society.
