Sudesh Sivarasu is currently working as Asssociate Professor with the Biomedical Engineering Division of the School of Biotechnology, Chemical and Biomedical Engineering in VIT unviersity, Vellore, India.

Born on 27 day of February in 1983, Sudesh was the fifth and the last child for his parent. Completing his schooling form Sunbeam Matriculation School in vellore, He joined B.E in Electornics and Instrumentation engineering in Vellore Engineering College, Vellore in 2000.

Complteting his B.E he immediately joined M.Tech in Biomedical Engineeering, fullfilling his desires to work on rehabilitation engineering.

Sudesh was campus selected with Frost & Sullivan and joined service as a Research Analsyst. Completing his 20 months tenure in Frost & Sullivan, he took over to RR Donnelly as a Research Analsyst where he served the client Pfizer as a Consultant. Sudesh's keen interest on research made him pursue his Ph.D under the esteemed guidnace of Dr.Lazar Mathew, Director, VIT unviersity. He is completing is Ph.D in may 2009.

In his research, he has design a high flexion artificial knee using 3-D reconstruction technqiues and work gained acceptance and recognition worldwide.

He was selected a key presenter in the 'Mechancis of Medical Devices Conference' held in the Institute of Physics, London U.K.

He also has made a impressable presentation in the '13th Conference on Biomedical Engineering' held in Singapore.

Some of the Key areas of Interests inclulde; Biomechanics, 3D Reconstruction of medical models, Design optimization, Finite Element Modeling, Computer Aided Engineering, Contact Analsysis problems, Boundry condition estimation for medical implants, rehabliation engineering.. etc.,
