1. First PhD student, Mithun Kumar(https://mech.nitk.ac.in/student/mithun-kumar) is working on Nanocellulose composites.
He is co-supervised by Dr. Arun Isloor, Chemistry Department(http://chemistry.nitk.ac.in/faculty/arun-mohan-isloor)
He is working on - Hollow fiber membranes for water purification

2.Second PhD student, Prashanth R Kubasad(https://mech.nitk.ac.in/student/prashanth-r-kubasad) is working on Orthotics.
He is working on designing an Ankle Foot Orthosis (AFO) to treat Drop Foot Disease.
To design the AFO, we collaborated with Dr. Yogeesh D Kamat,orthopedic, KMC Mangalore hosipital (https://mangalore.manipalhospitals.com/our-doctors/orthopedician/dr-yoge...) and Dr. Anupam Gupta,Neurological NIMHANS Bangalore (http://nimhans.ac.in/neurological-rehabilitation/current-faculty-and-sta...)
