Biography

Kamiar Aminian is currently Professor Emeritus. He was previously director of the Laboratory of Movement Analysis and Measurement (LMAM). His research interests include methodologies for human movement monitoring and analysis in real world conditions mainly based on wearable technologies and inertial sensors with emphasis on gait, physical activity and sport.

He obtained a master's degree in electrical engineering and a PhD in biomedical engineering from EPFL in 1982 and 1989, respectively. He also completed a postgraduate degree in technical computing before joining Sharif University of Technology (Tehran) as an assistant professor. Later, he served as a scientific adjunct and lecturer at the Metrology laboratory at EPFL. In 2002, he founded and led the Laboratory of Movement Analysis and Measurement at EPFL. Since 2007, he has held the position of "Professor titulaire" at EPFL's Institute of Bioengineering, where his research aims to perform outcome evaluation in orthopaedics, to improve motor function and intervention programs in aging and patients with movement disorders and pain, and to identify metrics of performance in sport science. Kamiar Aminian has contributed to the creation of several start-ups in the field of gait analysis, sports performance and injury prevention.
