Dr. Abhishek Kumar Ghosh

(Assistant Professor)

Department of Robotics and Mechatronics Engineering

Abhishek Kumar Ghosh is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Robotics and Mechatronics Engineering at the University of Dhaka, where he also directs the Mechatronics and AI in Medicine lab (https://www.maimlab.com/). He earned his PhD in Biomechatronics from Imperial College London, UK, in 2023, which was supported by the prestigious Commonwealth PhD Scholarship. He completed his B. Sc. and M. Sc. in Mechanical Engineering from Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology in 2011 and 2014, respectively. His primary research interest lies in the field of detection and analysis of human motion and muscle activities facilitating designs of innovative wearable and assistive technologies. His areas of expertise include embedded system design, sensor fusion, biomedical signal processing, machine learning, etc. Abhishek’s academic research translated into multi-million-dollar research grants, including the Wellcome Leap research grant under the “In Utero” program, the HEQEP project research grant funded by the Government of Bangladesh and supported by the World Bank, etc. Leveraging his experience in diverse work settings, Abhishek aims to narrow the divide between engineers and doctors to foster collaboration and pave the way for creating scalable healthcare solutions.
