He has authored 12 peer-reviewed publications and is a global expert in the rehabilitation of osteitis pubis among athletes. An active member of the Australian Rehabilitation & Assistive Technology Association, he has mentored over 20 physiotherapy honors students, advancing research capabilities in medical technology. His excellence in research was acknowledged with the Griffith University International Postgraduate Research scholarship.
Dr.Vijayakumar Palaniswamy PhD(Griffith University, Australia), experienced researcher in technology-based medical research, currently working at MAHE(Manipal Academy of Higher Eductaion, Mangalore, India). I possess excellent scientific knowledge, skills and proven track record in utilisation of medical devices technology in diagnosis, prevention, treatment and management of disease and disability with a proven capacity to undertake large randomised clinical trials, longitudinal and cohort studies in a medical technology discipline.
He was awarded for his PhD from Griffith University in October 2018 that focused on the innovative evaluation of structural, clinical and sensory changes in human tendon (common extensor tendon) utilising imaging technology (ultrasound, MRI) and medical (Medoc-Advanced Medical systems) and in patients with common extensor tendon pathology.

Organisational and administrative leadership skills
Dr.Vijayakumar Palaniswamy PhD has an extensive project management experience leading cross-disciplinary & multiple partner collaborations in projects ranging from medical technology-based randomised clinical trials, cohort studies and case studies in tendinopathy, cerebral palsy, Parkinson disease, osteoporosis, elderly falls prevention, Cancer-related fatigue. Expertise skill and work experience in assisting other university researchers to prepare grant research proposals, review and justify grant budget and ensure research grant applications meet requirements of various funding bodies (e.g., ARC, NHMRC). Also, I have coordinated all activities, overseeing research and managing a large team, generating research reports (School of Education, Griffith University) and interacting with industry partners, maintaining confidentiality and timely outcomes.
He is an early career researcher with a demonstrated track record of publications and grants through which novel contributions were made to the medical technology industry. My work experience at UKM and expertise in utilising various medical devices technology in development of novel diagnostic and therapeutic applications for a range of medical conditions has led me in securing GUIPRS scholarship for PhD candidature, research grants for technology-based research (Communiti-2013-031, UKM-HEJIM-Industri-19-2010). My academic qualifications and research outputs demonstrate my ability to design and undertake Medical technology-based research and generate novel findings and can contribute to the cost-effective technology-based healthcare system in Australia.

Research opportunity and performance evidence in Medical Technology–
As a full-time lecturer at UKM, I have supervised about 20+ Honors research degree students to completion. In particular, working as a chief investigator, I have extensive experience initiating, implementing and managing six honors student research projects that adopted and implemented medical and assistive health technology in range of clinical population including cerebral palsy, senile osteoporosis, scoliosis, falls in the elderly, cancer-related fatigue, musculoskeletal and sports injuries. I have built on this interest in technologically augmented research techniques through my research work. As part of the research role, I have collaborated with various government and non-government agencies, educational and healthcare institutions, general communities and other stakeholders of Malaysia.
