Manish Bharara serves as a postdoctoral research fellow at Dr. William M. Scholl College of Podiatric Medicine’s Center for Lower Extremity Ambulatory Research (CLEAR) at Rosalind Franklin University of Medicine and Science. Dr. Bharara is an experienced research analyst and biomedical engineer, with PhD in Biomedical Engineering from Bournemouth University (UK). Dr. Bharara also holds a Masters in Biomedical Engineering from University of Aberdeen (UK) accredited by Institute of Physics and Engineering in Medicine, UK, and a Bachelor of Science in Electronics Engineering from Pune University (India). Dr. Bharara’s research experience originated while his Masters degree at Aberdeen, where he gained experience in medical imaging modalities such as Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT), Positron Emission Tomography (PET) and Ultrasound with focus on improving image resolution and developing effective imaging protocols as well as quality assurance procedures. Dr. Bharara’s research in UK was sponsored by Bournemouth University, Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (UK) and European Association for Study on Diabetes (EASD). During his PhD, he developed a low-cost Liquid Crystal Thermography (LCT) system that uses thermochromic liquid crystals (TLC) to facilitate early detection of diabetic foot ulcerations. Manish continues his research experience at CLEAR and is actively involved in multiple studies particularly involving thermometry for lower extremities and biomechanical assessment of the diabetic foot. His work is published in International Journal of Lower Extremities, International Wound Journal, Imaging Science Journal, Measurement Science & Technology, Thermology International and Nuclear Medicine Communications.
