Kaushik is an undergraduate researcher who joined the lab in Spring 2026. Prior to this role, he worked in Dr. Haridas’s Medical Device Laboratory, where he contributed to the HLHS project focused on developing a testbed for a catheter-based device that uses radiofrequency energy to create therapeutic lesions aimed at mitigating the effects of hypoplastic left heart syndrome. His work involved supporting device testing, experimental setup development, and evaluating system performance in controlled settings. Currently, Kaushik works under Scott Philips, assisting with a project centered on real-time gait monitoring using IoT-enabled wearable sensors for patients with Parkinson’s disease. Through this role, he contributes to the development and evaluation of wearable systems designed to improve patient monitoring and clinical insight. In the future, he hopes to enter the medical device industry as an R&D engineer, where he plans to focus on designing innovative pediatric medical devices.
