Dinesh Bhatia BE, ME, MBA, PhD

Dr. Dinesh Bhatia pursued his Ph.D. in Biomechanics and Rehabilitation Engineering from MNNIT, Allahabad, India in 2010 with Bachelor’s (2002) and Master’s degree (2004) in Biomedical Engineering from Mumbai University. He completed his MBA from IMT Ghaziabad in 2007. He is currently working as Associate Professor and Head, Department of Biomedical Engineering, North Eastern Hill University (NEHU), Shillong, Meghalaya, India since August 2013. Previously, he was employed as an Assistant Professor (Sr. Grade) at the Department of Biomedical Engineering, Deenbandhu Chhotu Ram University of Science and Technology, Murthal (Sonepat), Haryana (State Government University), India from July 2006 to July 2013.

He was selected for the “Young Scientist Award (BOYSCAST)” in (2011-12) by the Government of India to pursue research in osteoarthritis (OA) for one year at Adaptive Neural Systems Laboratory, Biomedical Engineering Department, Florida International University, Miami, Florida, USA. He is also the recipient of the “INAE fellowship award” in 2011 by the Indian National Academy of Engineering. He was selected as one of the twelve young Biomedical scientists by the ICMR, Govt. of India to pursue a research fellowship (2014-15) in the field of sensory prosthetics at the University of Glasgow, Scotland, UK. He has attended Biomechanics and human Gait training in Munich, Germany in March 2017 and training of use of rTMS, EEG and EMG in disabled children in Ivanovo, Russia in September 2017.

He has several research papers in reputed journals, conferences, seminars, and symposia with teaching and research experience of more than thirteen (13) years. He has invited panel member of many professional bodies, editorial boards, committees, societies, and forums. He is currently having several funded projects from the Government of India on physically challenged, disabled and paralyzed persons. He authored a book titled “Medical Informatics” published (2015) by PHI and “Current aspects in Stroke Rehabilitation” (2016) by ABS Publishers. His research focuses on understanding muscle mechanics, joint kinematics and dynamics involved in performing locomotion and routine tasks and undermining its effects during an injury or disease. His interest areas are medical instrumentation, biomechanics and rehabilitation engineering, medical informatics, signal and image processing, marketing and international business.
