A professional blend of art and science in equal proportions ❤️

As an Indian classical bharatanatyam dancer and an engineer to be/ a science enthusiast. This is all I needed to see. This is all my work and life is based on. For reference seach India's top 20 Under 20 on Google. My feature on the list is based purely on this. Very very very glad to see someone who's now a new inspiration , in the similar shoes as me, very,VERY glad.

I love it when new MiT videos come out. This is great content. Kudos to her!

I like that she is building a bridge between art and science.

This is emotional and spiritual bliss. I was told to let my residual limb muscles die. I would get a better socket in less time by allowing my muscles to wilt or die. NO WAY!! My surgeon said I was the first patient he had ever seen that could move the remaining muscles. It's been 9 years and I still move them and exercise my residual muscles HOPING THAT ONE DAY THE ABILITY TO MOVE MY MUSCLES WILL QUALIFY ME FOR A SENSORY LIMB! I had a surgical amputation three months after a motorcycle wreck. I purchased an I-walk 2 prior to my first socket and WALKED into the office for my first fitting. I was surprised that Hangar didn't know what I was using to walk! I believe I have muscle control and longevity is because I am an athlete. I no longer play full court basketball but I did return to a childhood sport. I BMX bicycle raced as a child/teen and my folks still own the local Schwinn bicycle shop so I traded in the one speed 20" bicycle for gears and roads and trails. Riding my bicycle (and my Harley-no adaptive equipment on either one) are the only activities that do not hurt my residual limb plus the bicycle pedaling movement exercises and strengthens my residual muscles. It has been 9 years and I can move my remaining muscles. When people ask me if I still have phantom pain I say that I don't want the pains and sensations to completely disappear because one day there will be a better limb that will require these muscles to function. I have worked my entire life for physical fitness , to strengthen my muscles. I "practice" wiggling my toes. I move my residual muscles every step I take and I truly exercise my residual muscles on my bicycle. I am a BKLA since 2014. My prosthetic supplies are covered for life through Workers Compensation Insurance. CHUBB Insurance has been a blessing as well as my clinician. Having an adjustable ankle and a riding leg (for my motorcycle) has helped me stay active and continue living a normal life. I have prayed and will continue manifesting my own progress toward becoming a test subject for you. Please contact me so I can participate on some level. And thank you!!

You are an inspiration to me! Back in 2006-08 at USC AMI biomechanical lab I worked on bion 3D software and today you reminded me of how much we have made progress in sesory stimulus, thanks so much for changing people’s lives

Shriya, it's great to see a smile on Your face: when You work, when You dance, when You talk. God bless You!

felt like a breath of fresh air in this busy ever buzzing world and im grateful u uploaded that

Now, this lady should be an influencer and role model. Not ones who merely pout for the camera all day and say how they are bored of everything. LOL. 👍

I love it when ancient and modern technology/art come together through wonderful people like Ms.Srinivisan ! What a pleasure to withness it in this era :)

This is exactly the kind of stuff I’m interested in. I’ve always loved the intricacy of dance and as a doctor I wish there were more opportunities to be a part of programs like this when I was growing up. Amazing work.

Remarkable how advanced your research has been into prosthetics, such a noble cause. On top that , it feels so right that to propel the nuances towards perfection a dance guru researcher spearheads it.

Really inspiring how dance and science can be done so beautifully and elegantly by the same person 🥺🙏

When art drives engineering the results are awesome as yours, truly amazed by your work 😀

Wow.. She is definitely one definition of person with beauty and brain💞🙏Such an inspiration

What a wonderful and beautiful person! Would love to hear more from Shriya!

Wonderful to see this!! Especially since I last saw Shriya as a baby. What an amazing artist and scientist she has grown into. The world needs more of this. As a disabled Bharata Natyam artist myself, this is such meaningful progress to see, and it gives so many people hope.❤

What a great story 🙏 balancing professional & personal life and mastering both worlds is great inspiration. Good luck and all the very best for your future innovations.

Beautiful ! What a meaningful venture :)

Kudos to Shriya Srinivasan. Its great to see you contributing towards science and getting excel in beautiful Bharatnatyam. Always keep that smile and prosper in life!

Beautifully articulated - loved this video! It was the last line for me

how wonderfully you are using your academics, knowledge, research for the society's benefits- I bow my head with huge respect and thanks to you Madam

Brilliant. Simply brilliant. Respect !!!!

Awesome research topic. Looking forward to read her papers

Wow.. You have really achieved the perfect yet delicate balance between work and passion ❤ Hat’s off to you !

Very interesting video, MIT!

Amazing application. It was nice to hear how research helps in intellectual growth and dance helps her in emotional and spiritual growth.

This is so cool to see,the perfect bland of art,diversity,culture with sci. Loads of love from India.

Hello Shriya: WOW. Completely blown away on your accomplishments. Not sure if you remember us from Cleveland (Sridhar uncle and Vasudha Aunty). I am not totally surprised of what I am seeing here ! We are so proud of how you are able to blend the ancient art and the modern science&Tech to improve the quality of life! Hope to see you at the Aradhana festival. Please do come and visit us when you are in the Bay Area!

What a multidimensional personality you are. Hats off to you ,🙋

Wow. I’m inspired. I’m a science graduate and have founded the YOLAB which teaches mindfulness for wellbeing using mindful movement in the form of yoga and dance. Your choice to advance both the science and arts to complement each other is inspiring. Bless you. May your work bring inspiration and relief to many. Radhakrishnan

I believe we aren't that far of to reconstruct entire foots from the ground up, kind of like how 3d printers works but with bio-matter instead. Love that she is making this blue little planet a better place to live.

I hope she keeps following her passions, because both are making the world a better place. Thank you, if you are reading this comment. Thank you very much. ❤

Combining two different worlds and seeing the possibility of how one contributes to another with a goal of doing greater good to the mankind! You are an inspiration to me!

actually i am phd student at a college in southern USA, we also use EMGs for better control of prosthetics. The tough part is that the EMG signals are quite inconsistent so you need to build filters and algorithms to detect when those muscles are being actuated. Also we've tried putting rudimentary capacitive force sensors in proesthetic legs to capture better feedback to control the foot. great area of research !

Thank you soo much to all the hardworking sincere brainy people working at M.I.T. for their precious help in sustaining mankind🙏🙏❤️❤️

Awe inspiring. My hat is off to you. I wish you every success.

This actually explains a lot about how modern prosthetic limbs are created to make the user feel more comfortable with the design.

That’s amazing! Truly kudos to her!

Fascinating!

Its really beautiful to us as well. Thank you.

Glad to watch this video. A inspiration for me.

Gr8 to c very rare combination of scientist and artist...Best wishes from Latur, India...May Lord Ganesha bless good health, happiness to you and your family...

ചേച്ചീ അഭിനന്ദനങ്ങൾ അറിയിക്കുന്നു 💐🙏🙋🏻‍♂️ ഇനിയും നിങ്ങളുടെ പഠനങ്ങൾ കൂടുതൽ മേഖലകളിലേക്ക് വ്യാപിപ്പിക്കാൻ സാധിക്കട്ടെ.

such inspirational video Grate work Shriya. Art and science go side by side in your life very well articular in the video.

This is so great Loved it❤

the tech you guys develop at MIT is so fulfilling and meaningful to human life ❤

Way to go, Shriya! Amazing, scintillating work, but hey, your last line ought to read "helping humankind with my research". Admiration and respect from a guy who loves the campus during fall and the frozen Charles River.

This is truly extraordinary. One is really speechless.

Truly inspiring video. Culture meets Education! if these are promoted there will be more more Peace, Joy...Thx4 sharing

Incredible ⚡

Perfect example of satisfying your both right and left brain... Bravo..

What a beautiful story!

Excellent work .

Great work director.

Terrific presentation. Have à couple of questions on collateral settings would like to discuss with you. Appreciate linking up

You are doing best job sister

You are an inspiration

That sounds like really satisfying and groundbreaking work! Does anyone have links to learn more about this topic? Can this be used to “feel sensation” for normal folks? Say in a gaming context, can someone feel like running?

It"s just too inspiring !!

Amazing 🤩

Amazing and talented human like Shriya is what we need in our world a conscious mind that puts effort in great cause.

Beautiful!!

Wow my kind of balanced happy life , a true achiever ,hats off to you🎉

Fascinating to see Indian classical dance in mit

You are gem. Love from home. India.

Exceptional nice combination of Arts and Science .

Great stuff

Glad to see such a proper blend of educational and culture scholar in western country.

Amazing video 🤩

💗 Science gets a charming life when an artist touches it ! Thats why many scientists are artists first ! Congrats Shriya!

Amazing!

Fascinating

She is an inspiration!

Fabulous 🔥

Incredible

COOL VISION 😌

*That Indian Melody was so so good.*

WOW, Amazing.

MIT Nritya ❤️

Respect!!

Great!

Beautiful

Beautiful ❤️

Amazing

Excellent... I would like to follow the same at mit.

So beautiful!!

Art, Medical Science and Engineering -- can there be a more prefect collaboration than this?! Hats off Shriya and MIT!! _/\_

Wow some people are so accomplished

Cool!

This is Really Great. (Other Human Actions: Competing in animal activities/All are Social activities). After youtube, STILL Songs & Music? Again Social Activities supporting so called TALENT. But, Movies etc., are tough, Mind Boggling needing a lot of Effort.. Imitating Human Life. Unless in each country, majority of people change their behaviors and venture into just MIT revealed activities, we will still be sailing in the past and leave this land when the day arises !

I wish everyone can experience a walk with their own feet asap!! ☺☺

Great work... Kudos Shriya 👏
