About

Satya Bharath Evvala is an interdisciplinary researcher with expertise in biomedical
engineering, materials science, and mechanical systems. He started his M.Sc. in Biomedical
Engineering at Northwestern University before transferring to the University of Illinois
Chicago (UIC), where he completed his degree in 2024. While at Northwestern, he earned
minors in Engineering Management and Entrepreneurship, strengthening his ability to integrate
design thinking and innovation into cutting-edge research.
With a B.Tech. in Mechanical Engineering from K L University (2019), Satya has developed
strong skills in engineering design, finite element analysis (FEA), computational modeling,
and materials characterization. His work spans biomaterials, biodegradable polymers,
nanotechnology, and sustainability.
He is currently a Visiting Research Specialist in Professor Tolou Shokuhfar’s laboratory at
UIC, where he focuses on biodegradable polymers and their applications in healthcare. His
research explores the role of nanotechnology in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine,
particularly in designing nanomaterial-based scaffolds to enhance cellular regeneration and
improve biocompatibility. Leveraging design thinking methodologies, he aims to create
innovative, patient-centric biomedical solutions that drive advancements in healthcare and
sustainability.
Satya’s professional experience includes roles in the aerospace and pharmaceutical industries,
where he contributed to mechanical system optimization, material testing, and product
development. His multidisciplinary expertise, entrepreneurial mindset, and problem-solving
approach position him at the intersection of materials science, sustainability, and biomedical
engineering, driving innovation in environmentally friendly and healthcare-oriented
technologies.
