Research Profile

At the core, my work has underpinnings in computational geometry, image processing and computer vision, finite elasticity, and computational mechanics. I enjoy working with multidisciplinary projects. In the past I have worked with clinicians, industry R&D units with more customer specific developments and academics. My research background revolves around medical image-based patient-specific simulations involving specific attention to accurate and high quality 3D mesh generation for anatomical geometries such as aortic aneurysms, biventricular cardiac models, material anisotropy and user-subroutine development of active contraction of the soft-tissues. Currently I am working on 3D modeling applied for computer vision and soft robotic actuators, characterization of mechanical behavior of material using bio-membrane inflation tests and mesh smoothing algorithm accuracy quantification using 3D printing. Parallelly, I am also involved in computer vision applications and prototype development for agricultural automation and quality assessment. I am also looking forward to body motion characterization with and without body mount sensors. I am interested in development of a indigenous software interface for patient-specific 3D mesh generation for multidomain mesh, in particular, for vascular branching. It would also facilitate on extracting morphology based features for a given vasculature tree and subsequent Neural Network implementation to assist surgeons. Another prototyping activity of interest is application of biomimetics and soft robotics to navigate through interconnected mesh of narrow tubes for applications in minimal invasive vascular surgeries and robotic intubation process to administer anesthesia.
