About
Harish Chander is a prominent researcher in wearable technology, biomechanics, and human movement science, with particular expertise in the development and validation of soft robotic sensors (SRS) for real-world health and ergonomics applications. Best known for spearheading the landmark "Closing the Wearable Gap" series, Chander has systematically advanced the field by validating stretchable sensor systems for capturing foot, ankle, and knee joint kinematics — work that bridges the gap between laboratory-grade motion capture and practical, body-worn alternatives. His most cited paper (98 citations), a comprehensive review of wearable stretch sensors for movement monitoring and fall detection, underscores the clinical and ergonomic significance of his research agenda. Across the series, Chander and collaborators tackled sensor placement, gait recognition through deep learning, plantar pressure measurement, slip-and-trip perturbation detection, and smart knee brace validation — establishing a robust methodological toolkit for the field. His work carries meaningful implications for rehabilitation, fall prevention, and athletic performance monitoring. With over 220 cumulative citations, Chander's research continues to influence how wearable sensing technologies are designed, tested, and deployed in both clinical and occupational settings.
