He is also the recipient of "INAE fellowship award" in 2011 by the Indian National Academy of Engineering. He was selected as one of the twelve young Biomedical scientists by the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR), Govt. of India to pursue a research fellowship (2014-15) in the field of sensory prosthetics at the University of Glasgow, Scotland, UK. He has attended Biomechanics and Human Gait training in Munich, Germany in March 2017 and training in the use of Neuro-diagnostics equipment(s) at Ivanovo, Russia in September 2017. He delivered an Invited Talk on Gait and Osteoarthritis in Kaula Lampur, Malaysia in August 2018. He has several research papers in reputed journals, conferences, seminars, and symposia with teaching and research experience of more than eighteen (18) years. He is an invited panel member of several professional bodies, editorial boards, committees, societies, and forums. He has worked on various funded projects on physically challenged, disabled, and paralyzed persons and a few projects are still ongoing. He has published 09 books and 25 books chapters to date and supervised several undergraduate, postgraduate, and doctoral students. He has several patents, copyrights, and designs to his name. His research focuses on understanding muscle mechanics, joint kinematics, and dynamics involved in performing locomotion and routine tasks and undermining its effects during an injury or disease. His areas of interest are medical instrumentation, biomechanics and rehabilitation engineering, medical informatics, signal and image processing, marketing, and international business.



Dr. Jitendra Sharan did his graduation in Dental Sciences and post-graduation in Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics from Manipal University. After post-graduation, he joined Manipal University as faculty. In the pursuit to gain a better understanding of research insight, he joined the Centre for Dental Education and Research, All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), New Delhi, India as a Doctoral student. He worked on a novel technique for surface modification of Grade V titanium alloy in collaboration with the Indian Institute of Technology-Delhi, Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU), and the Council of Scientific & Industrial Research - National Physical Laboratory (CSIR-NPL). He was awarded a Ph.D. degree from AIIMS, New Delhi in 2018 and was the first to get a Ph.D. in dental surgery (Orthodontics) from AIIMS, New Delhi. Since January 2018, he is attached to the Department of Dentistry, AIIMS, Bhubaneswar, as faculty. He has published his research work in reputed journals related to biomaterial science, orthodontics, and interdisciplinary areas.

He has written three books, of which MCQs in Orthodontics (2nd Edition) were written for dental undergraduate students who are preparing for the various post-graduate entrance exams. It also helps the post-graduate students of orthodontics who are preparing for the Orthodontics Board Examination. Orthodontic Enquest has been written for orthodontic post-graduates. At present, he is working on a novel orthodontic mini-screws implant design, bio-conjugation of titanium alloys with bio-molecules, and nanoparticle doping of the biomolecules for dental applications.
