Senior Engineer
Kessler Foundation
West Orange, New Jersey
Arvind received his B.E. (Bachelors of Engineering) degree in Instrumentation Engineering from one of the premier schools in the University of Mumbai - India, Vivekanand Education Society’s Institute of Technology in 2004. Later in 2006, he graduated with a Masters in Biomedical Engineering from Drexel University, Philadelphia. In the Summer of 2005, Arvind did his Summer Internship at the Baylor College of Medicine (Texas Medical Centre), Houston – Texas performing research in the field of Respiratory Biomechanics, specifically diaphragm mechanics. He then joined the Biomechanics research team at the Steadman Hawkins Research Foundation, Vail, Colorado in Spring 2006 as a Research Intern and then worked as a Staff Scientist with them till December 2006, actively involved in 3D human motion analysis and inverse dynamics with its applications in injury and sports biomechanics. Arvind started working at the Kessler Foundation in January 2007 and is now a Senior Engineer at their Center for Mobility and Rehabilitation Engineering Research laboratory performing quality of life research with biomechanics and rehabilitation for individuals with movement disabilities, especially stroke and spinal cord injury (SCI). His personal interests include painting, travel, outdoor sports and recreation, and he is passionate about cricket and the Philadelphia Eagles!
