PhD Candidate, Research Assistant

Hossein Mohammadi
Hossein is a PhD candidate and research assistant in the Department of Systems Design Engineering at the University of Waterloo. His research in the Hearing Lab focuses on experimental and computational models of hearing mechanics and tissue biomechanics as well as designing OtoLogic devices for the treatment of hearing defects. Hossein's main objective is the study of cutting characteristics of soft biological tissues using experimental measurements and implementation of XFEM/CZM in the nonlinear mechanical models. He also collaborates with the Computational Metastasis Lab to develop novel cancer diagnosis methods with the application of Artificial Intelligence in medical imaging.
