Biography

Amin Komeili is an Associate Professor in the Department of Engineering at the University of Calgary and an Adjunct Associate Professor in the Department of Kinesiology. He holds a PhD in Biomechanical Engineering from the University of Alberta, obtained in 2014. His research interests span biomedical diagnostics imaging, particularly focusing on the use of medical imaging techniques such as radiographs, MRI, and CT to produce images of anatomical and functional features in vivo. Komeili investigates the biomechanics of the knee, specifically osteoarthritis, exploring effective treatment options and monitoring disease progression through data mining and machine learning techniques applied to biomedical images. His laboratory aims to develop engineering methodologies and the design of biomedical devices for both human and veterinary applications, responding to the growing need for intelligent solutions in healthcare. With a background that includes postdoctoral fellowships at both the University of Alberta and the University of Calgary, he has experience in the development of experimental apparatuses for measuring mechanical stimuli in cartilage and modeling soft tissue behavior through finite element analysis. Komeili has received several awards for his research and teaching excellence from the Schulich School of Engineering at the University of Calgary.
