MSc in Mechanical Engineering, University of Alberta

About Me

I am Armin Bonakdar, a second-year Master's student at the University of Alberta. Currently, I am doing my Master's degree at the Neuromuscular Control and Biomechanics Lab (NCBLab) at the University of Alberta under the supervision of Dr. Hossein Rouhani and Dr. Mahdi Tavakoli. I am primarily focused on biomechanics, mechatronics, robotics, and machine learning.
