I build neural interfaces and medical devices.
I'm Anway Pimpalkar, a Master’s student in Biomedical Engineering at Johns Hopkins University.
At the Haptics and Medical Robotics Lab, my research explores how peripheral robotic interfaces can restore and augment sensorimotor function disrupted by injury, disease, or disorder. I develop systems that tightly couple biological and engineered processes, building feedback enabled devices to retrain motor pathways, designing novel haptic interfaces for neuroprosthetics, and creating neuromodulatory approaches for a range of medical applications.
Before moving to Baltimore, I completed my undergraduate degree in Electronics and Telecommunications Engineering at the College of Engineering Pune, India.
In Fall 2025, I’ll begin my PhD at Harvard University, where I’ll continue advancing neural interfaces and rehabilitation technologies. My time there will be supported by the NDSEG and Harvard Prize Fellowships!
When I’m not building something, you’ll probably find me cheering on the McLaren F1 team, outdoors somewhere, or lost in a Spotify Radio rabbithole chasing obscure bangers. Always happy to connect, reach out if you want to chat!
