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

I design haptic and bioelectronic systems that interface directly with the human body. My current work focuses on multistable mechanisms for ingestible and interactive devices for stress and attention management, building toward systems that sense, stimulate, and adapt to close the loop between perception and action and improve motor control, cognition, and performance. I am advised by Prof. Katia Bertoldi at Harvard and Prof. Giovanni Traverso at MIT and the Broad Institute.

I am supported by the NDSEG Fellowship, the Harvard SEAS Prize Fellowship, and the GEM Associate 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.
