Denish Khatiwada

Engineer/ Researcher

Virginia, USA

Namaste, I am Denish, and I am a wannabe mechanic. I love doing full stack robotics from idea, design, prototype, code, test, and repeat. Most importantly, I really want to see my work improving people’s lives. Right now, I am building an assistive hand exoskeleton for people with stroke and neurological injury as a part of my PhD in bioengineering at George Mason University. I am also working on intuitive control strategies of those hand robotic devices using multimodal sensing using EMG, IMU and Ultrasound.

Additionally, I am an admirer of science and mathematics. I also love making, shooting and editing themed videos of my life experiences. You can check my Youtube and instagram.
