Arash Arami

Mechanical and Mechatronics Engineering, Assistant Professor

Biography

Arash Arami is an assistant professor at the Department of Mechanical and Mechatronics Engineering at University of Waterloo since December 2017. He is the director of Neuromechanics and Assistive Robotics Laboratory. Dr. Arami is cross appointed in System Design Engineering department and an active member of Waterloo Robohub, Centre for Bioengineering and Biotechnology and Waterloo AI institute. He is also an affiliated Scientist at KITE, Toronto Rehab Institute (University Health Network).
Before, he was a Research Associate at Human Robotics Group at Imperial College London, from August 2015 to December 2017, working mainly on modelling human neuromechanics and design of collaborative controllers for exoskeletons. He was also a Postdoctoral Researcher at Ecole Polytechnique Fédéral de Lausanne (EPFL) from March 2014 to August 2015 in the Laboratory of Movement Analysis and Measurement, when his research was more focused on wearable systems, signal processing and application of machine learning in human movement analysis. He obtained his PhD from EPFL on 2014 on design and evaluation of smart prostheses, and kinematics estimation and loosening detection of endoprostheses.
