He is also the founder of a start-up company BIOFIT Technologies LLC, USA. He earned his PhD from the University of Alabama, USA and worked as a Postdoctoral Researcher at the University of Pittsburgh, USA. Dr. Chanda is an expert in the area of ＂Biomechanics＂, especially in Tissue Mimicking (Artificial Tissues) and Characterization, finite element modeling (FEM), robotics and wearable device development, and entrepreneurship. He has been the recipient of various awards including Young Researcher Award and Early Career Award from ASME, MHRD, and AO Spine International-Singapore, and Top-Cited Paper Awards from IOP Publishing and Wiley. He holds and has filed 10+ US and Indian Patents, authored multiple Books and 100+ articles in reputed international journals. He is also the Coordinator of two successful Executive Programs: ＂Executive Program in Healthcare Entrepreneurship and Management＂ and ＂Executive Program in Robotics＂, Online PG Diploma in Healthcare Product Development and Management, and multiple Swayam/NPTEL courses for engineers, doctors, and management professionals. Dr. Chanda currently serves as the Associate Editor for the Journal of Appl. Biomaterials & Func. Materials, Book Series Editor for ’Biomedical Materials for Multi-functional Applications’, published by Springer Nature, Editorial Board Member for Nature Scientific Reports, and guest editor for several journals.
Gurpreet Singh is currently an Early-Doc Fellow at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Delhi, where he completed his Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering as a Prime Minister’s Research Fellow (PMRF). His interdisciplinary research spans biomimetics, soft tissue mechanics, artificial tissue development, computational biomechanics, and medical intervention design. During his Ph.D., he developed biomechanical models for diabetic foot ulcers and designed a modular insole for pressure offloading. He has also worked on developing artificial tissue surrogates and computational models of brain aneurysms, integrating experimental and simulation approaches. Previously, during his M.Tech., he worked on surface modification of metallic biomaterials using electro-discharge machining to enhance bioactivity. He has contributed to 50+ peer-reviewed publications and book chapters in international journals and conferences. He has also authored some monograph books and co-edited a volume. He has received several recognitions, including the Top Cited Paper Award (IOP Publishing 2023) for his review article on the mechanical properties of soft human tissues, the Research Excellence Travel Award (RETA) from IIT Delhi in 2024, the Dogra Educational Endowment Award (2025), and nomination for the Amit Garg Memorial Research Excellence Award. He is serving as a reviewer for leading international journals.
