Welcome!
Debkalpa Goswami's Academic Homepage
I am an Assistant Professor of Medicine and Biomedical Engineering at the Cleveland Clinic Lerner College of Medicine of Case Western Reserve University. I am also a core faculty member and Director of Biomechanics at the Cleveland Clinic's Cardiovascular Innovation Research Center. My research group combines soft robotics, 3D printing, biosensing, and computational tools to build advanced physical and digital biomechanical models of disease.
