Khiran Arumugam is a PhD student in Biomedical Engineering at the University of Calgary, supervised by Dr. Sarah Manske. He holds BSc and MSc degrees from McGill and Concordia, with a background in anatomy, exercise science, and experimental medicine. He previously worked on clinical trials at the McGill University Health Centre, focusing on improving musculoskeletal health and self-efficacy in older adults across Canada. Currently, Khiran’s PhD research focuses on leveraging opportunistic CT imaging to investigate muscle loss and weakness in ICU patients. His work aims to link imaging biomarkers, such as muscle cross-sectional area and density, to functional outcomes, ultimately informing rehabilitation strategies for ICU survivors. Outside of work, he enjoys going on runs by the riverside.
