Dr. Amirhossein Yazdkhasti received his B.S. and M.S. degrees in Mechanical Engineering from Isfahan University of Technology in 2013 and 2015, with a focus on mechanical design and robotics. He earned his Ph.D. from the University of Maryland in 2022, where he worked in the Sensors & Actuators Laboratory. His doctoral research explored biological systems and biologically inspired engineering, drawing him into the realm of acoustic metamaterials and their applications in acoustic sensing, imaging, and actuation.
Following his Ph.D., Dr. Yazdkhasti joined Harvard Medical School as a postdoctoral fellow, continuing his training at the SORG. His work centered on the development of biomedical devices and wearable technologies that generate high-quality data for AI-driven objective assessment and predictive modeling. His research encompassed the biological applications of acoustics, including acoustic-based immunomodulation, acoustic sensing of orthopedic tissues, and the acoustic evaluation of implants. During this time, he also served as a guest scientist at Tufts University, focusing on biocompatible and biodegradable acoustic lenses.
In September 2023, Dr. Yazdkhasti joined Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles as a Project Scientist at the Center for Surgical Innovation and Engineering (CSIE). His current research focuses on developing next-generation biomedical devices and AI-integrated clinical tools, with an emphasis on acoustic devices and wearables for the quantification of physiological phenomena to advance and optimize clinical care.
