About

Dr. Arian Iraqi is a leading researcher in biomechanics and occupational safety, whose work focuses on the prevention of slip-and-fall accidents—a leading cause of workplace injuries. His primary research areas include tribology of footwear and flooring, human gait analysis, and the biomechanics of friction. Dr. Iraqi’s most cited work, "Prediction of coefficient of friction based on footwear outsole features" (2019, 85 citations), provides a groundbreaking model linking outsole design to slip resistance, offering practical insights for safer footwear manufacturing. In a pivotal study, "The Combined Benefits of Slip-Resistant Shoes and High Traction Flooring on Coefficient of Friction Exceeds Their Individual Contributions" (2017, 11 citations), he demonstrated that the synergy between slip-resistant shoes and high-traction flooring yields a greater reduction in fall risk than either intervention alone. This finding has significant implications for safety protocols in industries like healthcare and food service. With a growing citation impact, Dr. Iraqi’s research bridges engineering and human factors, helping to design environments that protect workers. His work is essential reading for students and professionals in ergonomics, injury prevention, and product design.
