Anandakumar Shunmugavel

Dr. Anandakumar Shunmugavel is a Research Assistant Professor in the Department of Biomedical Engineering at Case Western Reserve University's Case School of Engineering and affiliated with the School of Medicine. His research focuses on leveraging peripheral nerve stimulation to address neurological conditions such as spinal cord injury. Current projects involve 3D reconstruction of human vagus and sciatic nerves using microCT, MRI, and histological techniques to develop novel stimulation electrodes and parameters minimizing off-target effects.

Research Interests: His work integrates anatomical precision with neuroengineering, aiming to enhance targeted neural modulation therapies. Key areas include meso/microanatomical nerve mapping, electrode design, and optimizing stimulation protocols for clinical applications.
