About

Dr. Kamiar Aminian is a leading researcher in biomechatronics and smart orthopaedic implants, with a focus on developing intelligent measurement systems for joint prostheses. His work centers on integrating sensor technology directly into knee implants to enable real-time, in vivo monitoring of joint kinematics and strain. A major contribution is the development of an implantable and wearable measurement system for smart knee prostheses, which uses anisotropic magnetoresistive sensors embedded in the polyethylene component to accurately track knee flexion–extension angles. This system, validated in a robotic knee simulator, represents a significant step toward post-surgical rehabilitation monitoring and personalized implant assessment. Dr. Aminian also pioneered a patient-specific computational model of total knee arthroplasty to estimate patellar strain, offering insights into implant performance under physiological loads. His most cited work, with 11 citations, demonstrates the clinical relevance of his approach. By combining low-power magnetic sensing, neuro-fuzzy estimation, and robotic simulation, Dr. Aminian’s research advances the frontier of smart prosthetics, aiming to improve surgical outcomes and long-term implant durability.
