Mrithula Madhavan is a master’s student in the Health Technology at UIUC and a graduate researcher in the Human eXtended Reality Interaction (HXRI) Laboratory. Her research focuses on improving the accessibility of non-invasive neurotechnology through simulation, visualization, and human-centered design. At HXRI, she contributes to the development of an interactive brain stimulation prototype aimed at supporting real-time neural visualization and engagement with emerging neurotech systems.
She had previously worked on a range of health-focused projects involving physiological sensing, biomedical system modeling, and digital health design. This includes developing sensor-based prototypes using Arduino, denoising EMG signals with MATLAB, and simulating immune system responses in Simulink. She also co-developed a smart wound healing patch that combines environmental sensing with AI-based infection detection. She brings strong skills in embedded systems, biomedical signal processing, human factors engineering, and interface design for health technology.
