Dr. Siddhartha Sikdar is a Distinguished University Professor of Bioengineering at George Mason University and the director of the Center for Advancing Systems Science and Bioengineering Innovation. He leads an interdisciplinary research group that conducts translational and applied research using novel biomedical imaging and sensing technologies. In particular, he is studying the interactions between the central and peripheral nervous system and the musculoskeletal system in a number of clinical conditions of major public health significance, such as chronic pain, stroke, spinal cord injury, and amputation. The research has potential applications in noninvasive diagnosis, screening, and treatment monitoring, understanding underlying mechanisms of disease, and for developing assistive technologies to improve function and quality of life in individuals with disability. Dr. Sikdar obtained his PhD in Electrical Engineering from University of Washington, Seattle in 2005. He received a postdoctoral fellowship from the American Heart Association. Dr. Sikdar has been a recipient of the NSF CAREER Award, the Volgenau School of Engineering Rising Star Award, Mason’s Emerging Researcher/Scholar/Creator Award and was nominated for the Rising Star Faculty Award and the Outstanding Faculty Award of the State Council of Higher Education in Virginia. Dr. Sikdar’s research is funded by the NIH, NSF, and DoD.
