    2.4. Novel Shoe Design using Magnetic Levitation and Machine Learning - Dev Lochan

    The pod’s back again with an encouraging and edifying episode coming your way: let me introduce you Dev Lochan, who is a multi-award-winning young researcher in biomedical engineering. Dev developed a novel shoe using magnetic levitation and machine learning to reduce ground reaction forces and correct overpronation to alleviate joint pain and make a remarkably soft shoe! His mission is to combine modern research with everyday technologies to develop innovative solutions to joint and orthopedic problems on a global scale. He’s been participating in science fair for 6 years, and won 2nd award at International Science and Engineering Fair (ISEF) in Biomedical Engineering. Dev’s helped mentor all the budding young scientists in his area, helping his local fair, CASEF, to encourage children to join science fair and embrace STEM in every aspect of their lives. Among many volunteering activites, he’s also the president and volunteer opportunity coordinator at IndiYouth. According to Dev, you don’t always need to be running around, searching for a complex project to be successful. All you need is a question / a problem and your brain! You just have to put your mind to it and take that first step! • Available on Youtube and all major podcasting platforms.
