My brother shared his experience of pursuing an MS in Biomedical Engineering (BME) at the Dept of Applied Mechanics (App Mech). BME is a multidisciplinary branch and covers a number of fields. The BME department has 8 professors in different fields of Biomedical Engineering namely

  1. Prof. Arun K Thittai - Biomedical Ultrasound Lab
  2. Prof. M. Manivannan- Touch Lab
  3. Prof. Ramakrishnan S - Non-Invasive Imaging and Diagnostics Lab
  4. Prof. Ramasubba Reddy M - Biomedical Instrumentation and Signal Processing Lab.
  5. Prof. Raghavendra Sai VV - Bio Sensors Lab
  6. Prof. Saumendra K Bajpai- Cell Mechanics Lab
  7. Prof. Sujatha N - Biophotonics Lab
  8. Prof. Varadhan S K M- Neuromechanics Lab

My brother worked in Biomedical Ultrasound Lab under the guidance of Prof. Arun K Thittai and was fortunate enough to have graduated with two conference abstracts and two journal publications in reputed journals of the Biomedical Ultrasound Imaging field. He had the absolute delight of having received his degree within 2 years which is a rare case. 

From his batchmate's experience, even the other professors were approachable and humble, always ready to guide him in every possible way. It’s the professors’ continuous nudging that enabled students to achieve their research goals.

If you are concerned about the job prospects then rest assured as most of his batchmates landed good jobs in top R& D companies of India. So, go for this program without much thinking and pursue your passion in the same.
