Karupppasamy Subburaj is an Assistant Professor in the Pillar of Engineering Product Development (EPD) at Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD). He leads an interdisciplinary research team to design and develop medical devices, assistive technologies, image-based quantitative biomarkers, and computing tools (machine learning, artificial intelligence) for diagnosing, monitoring, treating, and potentially preventing musculoskeletal disorders (osteoarthritis/osteoporosis) and disabilities by understanding bio-mechanical implications of those diseases and disabilities. He collaborates with physicians and clinical researchers from Tan Tock Seng Hospital (TTSH), Technical University of Munich (TUM), Singapore General Hospital (SGH), and Changi General Hospital (CGH) to combine research and technical expertise to address real-life clinical problems affecting Asia-Pacific and the World. Before joining SUTD, he did his postdoctoral work in the Musculoskeletal Quantitative Imaging Research (MQIR) laboratory at the University of California San Francisco (UCSF). At UCSF, he worked with a spectrum of clinicians (from radiology, orthopaedic surgeons, sports medicine, and physiotherapy/rehabilitation science) on characterizing magnetic resonance image (MRI) based bio-markers to understand the physiological and biochemical response of knee joint cartilage to physical exercise and acute loading. He has also developed and validated 3D modelling and quantification methods to study joint (hip/knee) loading patterns and contact kinematics in young healthy adults and patients with osteoarthritis. He received his PhD from the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay (IIT Bombay), India, in 2009. During his PhD, he collaborated with Tata Memorial Hospital (TMH), Mumbai, on developing a Surgery Planning System for Tumour Knee Reconstruction. He also worked with orthodontists from local hospitals in Mumbai, India, on designing and developing prostheses and surgical instruments/guides for reconstructing maxillofacial defects. After his PhD, he worked as a research specialist (surgery planning) in the Biomedical Engineering Technology incubation Centre (BETiC) at IIT Bombay, before moving to UCSF for his postdoctoral studies.
