Summary

Focused on practical, market‑shaping interventions to accelerate development and procurement of next‑generation PPE. Aman leads work that translates technical PPE requirements into actionable pull mechanisms and stockpile recommendations, engaging funders, universities, and government stakeholders to create demand signals and supply commitments for reusable respirators. uchicago+2
Operates at the intersection of policy, technical evaluation, and stakeholder convening. He contributes to meeting reports and policy briefs (e.g., Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security stakeholder discussions and Blueprint reports) that bring together government, academia, manufacturers, and NGOs to address standards, manufacturing, and stockpiling challenges for PPE. centerforhealthsecurity+1
Has a technical foundation in computational neuroscience from USC, which supports a data‑driven and systems‑oriented approach to biosecurity problems. That academic background, combined with hands‑on project work, helps him translate technical tradeoffs (e.g., reuse, fit, decontamination) into policy and market solutions. fas+1
Engages with the effective altruism / academic community and student networks on biosecurity topics. He has advised and helped found EA USC and uses those communities to support early‑stage biosecurity projects and connect them to funding and technical resources. usceffectivealtruism+1
