About Harish Rao

Harish Rao was a Master’s student, co-supervised by professor Naveen Chandrashekar and professor Stewart McLachlin. His thesis project developed a subject-specific knee finite element model through medical image segmentation, high-quality hexahedral meshing and digitization of ligament insertion sites. Following model validation, a single-leg jump landing motion was simulated and anterior cruciate ligament strain was validated against previous in-vitro experimental data.

Harish obtained his bachelors degree in Mechanical Engineering from RV College of Engineering, India and worked at Schneider Electric for over 6 years designing switchgear products. Currently, he is a Senior Designer at an Ontario based startup - GRYP Technologies Inc., and develops solutions to reduce repetitive strain injuries in assembly line workers.
