WELCOME
My name is David Botana. As a Biomedical Engineering PhD student in Young Kim's Bioengineering Machine Learning Laboratory at Purdue University, my research focuses on mobile health, color science, and community health worker research.
I develop tools that accelerate research and translation to clinical applications, addressing inequities in academic and clinical spaces. I have worked on multiple design projects focused on topics such as assistive technology, treating diabetic wounds, and blood sample collection.
Research Focus Areas
Machine Learning
Developing advanced ML models for mobile health disease diagnosis in low resource settings.
Assistive Technology
Creating inclusive design solutions that address accessibility challenges in academic and clinical environments.
Clinical Translation
Bridging the gap between scientific discovery and real-world clinical applications through entrepreneurship.
