معرفی
Pouya Amiri is an Assistant Professor in Biomechanics and Neuromechanics at Queen's University. He holds a PhD from McGill University and post-doctoral training at Imperial College London. His research focuses on musculoskeletal biomechanics, particularly in impairments like lower limb amputation and knee osteoarthritis. He combines computational models with medical imaging and functional experiments to develop personalized interventions and rehabilitation technologies.
Education:
- PhD in Biomedical Engineering, McGill University
- Post-Doctoral Fellowship, Imperial College London
- MASc in Mechanical Engineering, Dalhousie University
- MSc/BSc in Mechanical Engineering, Isfahan University of Technology
Research Interests:
- Biomechanical adaptations in amputees
- Knee osteoarthritis mechanics
- Human balance control
- Functional electrical stimulation
- Prediction of joint forces via musculoskeletal models
- Biofeedback training for gait optimization
His recent work explores predictive musculoskeletal models for amputees, VR-based balance control identification, and reducing knee joint loading in osteoarthritis patients. He emphasizes subject-specific approaches for clinical applications.
Advising & Funding: Actively recruiting motivated students through scholarships like Ontario Graduate Scholarship and NSERC. Internal funding opportunities are also available.
