Summary
Pramod is Head of Development for the Faculty of Medicine in Imperial's Advancement Division. He helps secure funding for medical research and education, and raises awareness of the transformational work taking place within the Faculty. He was previously the Head of Strategic Projects within the Division, where he supported the Vice-President and the wider Division in developing, leading and managing high profile, strategic projects that help the College raise philanthropic revenue and build a more vibrant, engaged alumni community. He worked closely with academics to design and develop Advancement's activities and campaigns around strategic initiatives where fundraising had been identified as a key component in supporting the long term success of the initiative. He also led and managed the Vice-President's philanthropic activities and portfolio, and has secured significant donations.
Before his move to Advancement, Pramod worked as a Strategic Planning Officer in the Strategic Planning Division for 15 months. He was in charge of managing and analysing data related to the College Strategy 2015-20, compiling and analysing staff and student data and associated statistics, completing statutory returns to HESA, predicting and analysing the College's Research Grant from the Government, REF background and queries, and the division's ICA dashboard and website.
Prior to this, Pramod worked as a Research Associate in Mechanical Engineering for 3.5 years, working in the Biomechanics group under Prof Andrew Amis and Prof Jonathan Jeffers focussing on Knee anatomy and biomechanics, and their effects on Implant design. During this time, he also worked very closely with Prof Justin Cobb in Charing Cross Hospital (MSk Lab). His previous stint as a Postdoc was as a Research Fellow at the University of Southampton, where he was the lead in projects jointly run with DePuy Synthes, a Johnson & Johnson company providing Orthopaedic services.
Pramod completed his PhD in Computational Biomechanics in 2010 from the University of Southampton, working on the simulation and prediction of long and short term implant fixation. He also holds a Masters (MSc) in Bioengineering from the University of Leeds, and an Undergraduate degree (BEng) in Computer Science and Engineering. He is a certified PRINCE2 Practitioner.
