Summary

Experienced technology‑transfer professional who transitioned from academic research to licensing and commercialization. Mohit has worked as a licensing associate handling university portfolios, participated in structured tech‑transfer training (AUTM Susan Riley Keyes Fellowship), and now serves as a Technology Licensing Associate at Johns Hopkins Technology Ventures, indicating hands‑on experience evaluating inventions, prosecuting IP, and engaging industry partners. jhu+2
Academic researcher in infrared neural modulation and laser–tissue interactions. During his PhD at Vanderbilt he combined computational modeling and experiments to study mechanisms of infrared neural inhibition and thermal block of action potentials, producing multiple peer‑reviewed papers on the topic—demonstrating strengths in biophysical modeling, neuroengineering, and translational photonics. vanderbilt+2
Technical background bridging engineering and commercialization: his academic work (MS thesis on pulsed‑laser tissue effects; PhD modeling work) gives him domain expertise in biomedical optics/thermal effects, which he leverages in university technology transfer roles to evaluate biomedical inventions and advise on IP/commercial potential. fit+2

Thermal block of action potentials is primarily due to voltage-dependent potassium currents: a modeling study

January 1, 2019

Computational modeling study investigating the mechanisms of thermal block (infrared-induced inhibition) of action potentials, concluding that activation of voltage-dependent potassium channels plays a primary role; relevant to selective neural inhibition and therapeutic/neuromodulation approaches.
