About
I am a biomedical engineer with a Ph.D. in Biomedical Devices and Technology from the Indian Institute of Technology Madras and a background in neurorehabilitation, electronic device instrumentation, and digital signal processing. I work as a research associate in Dr. Ela Plow's lab at the Lerner Research Institute of the Cleveland Clinic, investigating the efficacy of novel non-invasive brain stimulation treatments combined with stimulation-based hand device therapy for severe upper extremity hemiplegia following stroke.
My ultimate goal is to become an independent neurorehabilitation scientist specializing in developing analytical tools to characterize severity-specific movement dysfunction after stroke, which has the potential to accelerate the design and development of targeted biomedical modalities for rehabilitation.
