About


Hi I am Tashfia, a 5th year PhD candidate at the University at Buffalo. 
 The purpose of this website is to showcase my research in a way that is not possible through, say, GoogleScholar or Researchgate! Months, and often years, of hard-work, heart-breaks (read 'failed experiments'), and perseverance feed into the fruition of a project. The iterative process of method/protocol optimization/improvisation  in the backdrop are crucial but often do not make it to the final cut! Hence I have decided to document all those behind-the-scenes, the Eureka moments without which my project wouldn't see the light of the day!

Along the way, I will also try to  touch on tangential concepts that I have learnt from reading a plethora of literature. This is more for myself- sort of to justify my guilty pleasure of whirling in the loop of papers that cited XYZ...
