My name is Shanmugam Ganesan. I was born and brought up in Chennai, India, but I’m now in Boston, studying my third year at Tufts as a Mechanical Engineering student.

​

I’ve decided to pursue engineering because I really, really enjoy building things. Something about having the ability to put what’s in my head out into the world feels so empowering. Over the past few years, I’ve taken every opportunity I can to build—whether that’s through internships at engineering startups, school clubs, hackathons, or just personal projects.

​

Right now, my biggest focus is Parkinson’s. Harnessing the power of magnetorheological fluids, soft robotics, and lots of user input, I’m working on a wearable device that aims to suppress Parkinsonian Tremors subtly and discreetly. I am also working with the TTDD Lab at MIT to build an implantable biomedical device that helps restore blood circulation for those with single ventricle heart defects. Neither of these are properly up on my website yet, but if you are at all curious, please feel free to reach out. My email is in the bottom of the site, and if you hit that image to the right, you'll find my Linkedin.

Thanks for checking out my site—I hope you enjoy going through some of my work, which I've tried to document largely through photo and video.
