Arash is a Ph.D. candidate in the Department of Systems Design Engineering at the University of Waterloo. He joined the Hearing Lab in 2019. Arash received his M.Sc. in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Tehran in 2018. During his M.Sc. he worked on nonlinear oscillations and chaotic behaviors of vibrational energy harvesters. His Ph.D. research is a part of Hearing Lab’s long-term research for developing new therapeutic devices for treating hearing disabilities. He is studying the mechanical and acoustical effects of these medical devices on middle-ear vibrations and human hearing. He is also working on new techniques for material characterization of different structures of the middle ear as well as stochastic FEM modelling and global sensitivity analysis of human middle-ear models. Arash also has some collaborations with the Computational Metastasis Lab for developing novel methods for cancer diagnosis.
