About

Darshan heads the ‘BiOME’ lab at IIT Bombay established to further research and education in Biomechanics, Orthopaedics and Musculoskeletal Engineering, in close collaboration with the medical fraternity and the industry.
With a strong background in engineering design, coupled with an avid interest in human anatomy, he delves into the in-vivo (human), in-vitro (cadaveric) and in-silico (computational) techniques to understand the functioning of the human body from an engineering perspective.

Darshan is an alumnus of IIT Bombay, where he graduated with a dual degree (BTech, MTech) in Mechanical Engineering. He went on to pursue further studies in Bioengineering at Imperial College London, UK, where he completed a second Masters (MSc), a PhD and a year of postdoctoral research. Following this, he spent a couple of years at the Institute for Orthopaedic Research and Training, Belgium - an interdisciplinary lab affiliated to the faculties of engineering, anatomy and orthopaedics - supervising a team of surgeons and engineers on translational orthopaedic projects, before coming back to the current faculty position in India.
