Prashanth Ravi , PHD

Dr. Ravi employs his deep technical expertise in medical 3D printing and virtual reality to plan endoscopic cardiac valve repair, minimally invasive coronary artery bypass, and mandibular reconstruction surgeries. Prior to joining the University of Cincinnati in 2020, Dr. Ravi worked in the 3D printing industry performing research & development. He publishes his research in top-tier journals and is currently an Associate Editor for Springer Nature's 3D Printing in Medicine journal. He received many prestigious awards including the Graduate Student Employee of the Year award for 2016-17, the Igor Fraiberg Endowed Scholarship in Engineering, and a fellowship from the I Engage Mentoring Program. His paper in the journal Medical Physics on the accuracy of multi-pathological 3D printed anatomic models was Editor's Choice for June 2021.

Dr. Ravi's long term goal is to improve the impact of 3D printing technology in medicine by addressing the existing technological challenges through a hybrid scientific-entrepreneurial route. Ultimately, he would like to endow scholarships at his alma mater to help deserving students complete their education.
