Rishub

The Story

Rishub sits at the intersection of computer science and biomedical research, and he wanted to make that world accessible to other students. With his Personify mentor, he wrote and published "Beyond the Human Hand: A Dive into Biomedical Prosthetics" — a student's guide that traces the full arc of prosthetic technology, from wooden toes crafted in ancient Egypt to AI-driven devices that adapt to how you walk, grip, and move. Each chapter builds on the last: the biomaterials that determine whether the body accepts or rejects a device, the biomechanics that turn signals into realistic movement, and the computational tools reshaping how prosthetics are designed. The book doesn't shy away from the hard questions either — who actually has access to these innovations, and where the line between restoring the body and enhancing it should be drawn. It features profiles of figures like Aimee Mullins and Robert Langer, real case studies from Cambodia to Uganda, and Rishub's own original design concept for an adaptive prosthetic socket.
