Vikranth Harthikote Nagaraja
Associate, Oxford India Centre for Sustainable Development; Postdoctoral Research Assistant, Natural Interactions Lab.
Vikranth’s research primarily focuses on developing affordable prosthetic arms for low-resource settings. He is also working on collaborative projects tackling emerging topics – (i) AI/Machine Learning applications in motion analysis and musculoskeletal modelling for real-world biomechanical assessments; (ii) the potential role of telehealth and virtual care as sustainable development solutions in achieving Universal Health Coverage in India; and (iii) structured need-led design methodology for developing 3D-printed prosthetics.
