Sunil Prajapati

Sunil is a biomechanist and third-year Ph.D. student who joined the TCU Locomotor Performance Lab in 2023 as a research engineer. He holds undergraduate and graduate degrees in mechanical engineering from the University of Texas at Austin.

Sunil’s journey began in the Rewire Research Lab at the University of Texas. His research focused on muscle activation patterns and correlations between post-stroke SKG patients and mechanically restricted post-stroke movements in healthy individuals. After completing his master’s, he joined the Locomotor Performance Lab at Southern Methodist University in 2020 where he collaborated on research projects with corporate partners like Nike, led and assisted in various research projects, mentored undergraduate researchers and ensured the lab’s smooth operation.

While his graduate work focused on rehabilitation engineering, Sunil’s true passion lies in biomechanics and human performance in sports. An avid Dallas Mavericks fan, you can find him on the court playing basketball, tennis or pickleball.
