Biography

Matin Afshar is a Senior Postdoctoral Researcher at Aalborg University, specializing in Biomechanics. He holds a PhD from Amirkabir University of Technology where his doctoral research focused on the mechanical characterization of orthopedic bone screws and the correlation between pullout force and insertion torque. His research has included extensive collaborations with biomechanics research groups and has laid the groundwork for innovations in assessing implant stability and optimizing bone-drilling procedures. At Aalborg University, Matin has led projects exploring biomechanics, particularly orthopedic screw fixation and knee prosthetics, as part of the SPARK project. His interdisciplinary approach combines finite element analysis and computational mechanics with in vitro experiments to improve surgical outcomes and implant designs. Matin has published in over 30 peer-reviewed journals and conference proceedings, with a strong focus on biomechanical stability assessment and personalized finite element modeling. He is an active member of the European Society of Biomechanics and works as a regular reviewer for journals like the Journal of Biomechanics and Spine. His contributions have been recognized internationally, including receiving a Poster Presentation award at the International Iranian Conference of Biomedical Engineering. His current projects include the development of innovative, patient-specific implant solutions and ongoing collaborations with institutions such as KU Leuven in Belgium.
