About the Faculty

I joined the Department of Mechanical Engineering at BITS Pilani, Goa, in October 2020. I am a translational researcher working in the field of Biomechanics, Assistive and Medical Devices. I hold a bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering and integrated MS-PhD specializing in Biomechanics and Design of Assistive Devices/Exoskeletons. My research focuses on investigating the physiological and biomechanical aspects of human gait, musculoskeletal disorders, and physical disability. The overarching goal is to assist people with walking gait impairments/physical disabilities/ musculoskeletal disorders using assistive technology and therapy. I am also a passionate teacher and enjoy interactions with young minds. I enjoy reading books, listening to music, and watching movies in my free time.
