DESCRIPTION:Prof. Kamiar Aminian\nAbstract:\nWith advances in wearable tec
 hnology and the emergence of novel\, miniaturized motion sensors over the 
 last three decades\, a notable shift in biomechanics has occurred\, focus
 ing on the monitoring of movement in non-laboratory environments. The comp
 rehensive analysis of movement patterns in real-world settings and over ex
 tended temporal periods has unveiled novel biomarkers. In this lecture\, 
 we will take a few steps along a well-marked path that I had the privilege
  of paving with my research group between the laboratory and the real worl
 d to explore the kinematics and dynamics of movement with wearable sensors
  and extend their application to everyday life. I will describe how moveme
 nt analysis can be leveraged in orthopedics and sports\, in neurology and 
 in aging\, to assess health\, physical performance\, and detect disorders.
 \n\n\nBio:\nKamiar Aminian obtained a master's degree in electrical engine
 ering and a PhD in biomedical engineering from EPFL in 1982 and 1989\, res
 pectively. He also completed a postgraduate degree in technical computing 
 before joining Sharif University of Technology (Tehran\, Iran) as an Assis
 tant Professor. Later\, he served as a scientific adjunct and lecturer at 
 the Metrology Laboratory at EPFL. In 2002\, he founded and led the Laborat
 ory of Movement Analysis and Measurement (LMAM) at EPFL. Since 2007\, he h
 as held the position of "Professor titulaire" (Adjunct Professor) at EPFL'
 s Institute of Bioengineering\, where his research has primarily focused o
 n the monitoring and analysis of human movement in real-life conditions\, 
 primarily through the development of wearable systems. Kamiar Aminian has 
 contributed to the creation of several start-ups in the field of gait anal
 ysis\, sports performance and injury prevention.\n\n\n\nZoom link for atte
