"Hello everyone! My name is Nisarg and I am a 4th year bioengineer. The part of bioengineering that I find most fascinating is electrophysiology and how it can be used to diagnose certain cardiac and muscular diseases. Outside of bioengineering I enjoy playing guitar and making covers of guitar solos from guitarists like Slash and Jimmy Page. I also like playing basketball and watching the Lakers in my free time. If you see me around campus don't hesitate to say hi!"
