Materials for Biomedical Simulation: Design, Development and Characterization

About

Arnab ChandaDr. Arnab Chanda works as Assistant Professor in the Centre for Biomedical Engineering IIT Delhi and Joint Faculty at the Department of Biomedical Engineering AIIMS Delhi. He is also the founder of a start-up company BIOFIT Technologies LLC USA. Dr. Chanda is an expert in the fabrication and mechanical characterization of tissue mimics and has previously developed artificial surrogates for human skin muscles brain artery and plantar fascia and tested them in lab and clinical settings. These experimental models have been used extensively to conduct surgical training and study a wide range of injury scenarios. To date he has received young researcher awards from ASME and MHRD and holds 7 US patents and 2 Indian patents. He has authored more than 85 articles in reputed international journals and several tech-transfers. Currently Dr. Chanda heads the Disease and Injury Mechanics Lab (DIML) where his team works on developing cutting-edge healthcare technologies for disease mitigation for diabetic ulceration cerebral aneurysm severe skin burns slips and falls etc. in India. Sarabjeet Singh SidhuDr. Sarabjeet Singh Sidhu is the Associate Professor and Dean Research at Sardar Beant Singh State University Gurdaspur Punjab India. He completed his Ph.D. from Thapar University in 2014. Broadly his area of research is related to surface modification NDT metallic composites biomaterials and non-conventional machining processes. He believes in collaborative work. As a result he was invited to various international platforms as Joint Research Partner and Eminent Speaker. He has published 100+ technical papers in reputed national and international journals and conferences acted as a potential reviewer for several journals and chaired various technical sessions. His research is currently aimed at developing novel -titanium alloys as biomaterials. He served as an editor ofmany reputed journals books and conference proceedings. Lately he was awarded the ISTE Best Teacher Award 2021. Gurpreet SinghGurpreet Singh is a Ph.D. scholar in the Centre for Biomedical Engineering Indian Institute of Technology Delhi India. He is a recipient of the most prestigious Ph.D. fellowship in India the Prime Ministers Research Fellowship (PMRF) in the May 2021 cycle. His research interests include soft tissue mechanics artificial tissues biomimetics and computational biomechanics. He is working on the computational modeling of diabetic foot and its urceleration progression. He is also working in developing artificial human tissue surrogates for injury and disease modeling. Previously much of his work has been on improving the surface characteristics and bioactivity of metallic biomaterials with research interests including surface engineering materials science biomaterials and non-conventional machining processes. Heworked on the surface modification of metallic biomaterials using electro-discharge machining where he studied the bioactivity of modified surfaces in terms of wear resistance corrosion resistance and other biological responses. He has authored one book and contributed more than fifty research papers and book chapters to leading international journals and conferences. He is also serving as a reviewer for prominent journals worldwide.
