Biography

Dr Kaushik Mukherjee is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology Delhi. His research is in the area of Biomechanics and Implant Design, Mechanobiology, Mechanics of Human Movements and Musculoskeletal Modelling.

Prior to this, Dr. Mukherjee was a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Research Fellow in the Department of Bioengineering, Imperial College London, the UK where his research was in the area of Developmental Biomechanics. In particular, he investigated the influences of abnormal gait in the development of postnatal joint abnormalities using a mechanobiological simulation of growth and morphogenesis.

Prior to this fellowship, Dr Mukherjee was a postdoctoral Research Associate at the Developmental Biomechanics Group, Imperial College London. Dr Mukherjee investigated the influence of movements on prenatal joint development using computational models. Dr Mukherjee completed his undergraduate (B.Tech) in Mechanical Engineering from West Bengal University of Technology (India) in 2010. Thereafter, he joined the Department of Mechanical Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur (India) as a Joint M.Tech-Ph.D. student. He completed his master's degree (M.Tech) in 2012 with a specialisation in Mechanical Systems Design and continued his doctoral research in the field of Orthopaedic Biomechanics and Implant Design. He completed his doctoral degree in June 2017. His master's dissertation was based on bone remodelling simulation around femoral prosthesis while his doctoral research was focused on bone ingrowth and remodelling around porous-coated acetabular prosthesis using mechanobiology based finite element analysis.
