Hi, I'm Anway. I build neural interfaces.

I'm Anway Pimpalkar, a PhD student in Electrical Engineering at Harvard University.

I build neural interfaces to restore or enhance physiological function following injury, disease, or neurological disruption. I design systems integrating biological and engineering processes to enable neuromodulatory approaches for a range of medical applications. My work is supported by the NDSEG Fellowship and Harvard SEAS Prize Fellowship.

Before moving to Cambridge, I received my Master's in Biomedical Engineering from Johns Hopkins University and my Bachelor's in Electronics and Telecommunication Engineering from College of Engineering Pune, India.

Building Neural Interfaces

My research unites neuroscience, robotics, and human-centered design to create neural interfaces that restore and enhance function. By combining insights into brain–body signaling with soft robotic devices and a rigorous focus on usability, I aim to develop technologies that not only advance science and engineering but also translate seamlessly into everyday clinical care.
