Dr. Hamid Ghaednia, Ph. D is a mechanical engineer and biomedical researcher specializing in surgical innovation, wearable technologies, and artificial intelligence in healthcare. He is an Assistant Professor of Orthopedic Surgery and Computational Biomedicine at Cedars Sinai, Associate Editor of the Americal Society for Mechanical Engineers, ASME, Journal of Tribology, and serves as the Co-Director of the Center for Surgical Innovation and Engineering (CSIE) at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, a multidisciplinary initiative he co-founded with Dr. Joseph Schwab. CSIE focuses on developing next-generation biomedical devices and AI-driven clinical tools that integrate engineering, physics, and surgical sciences.
Before joining Cedars-Sinai, Dr. Ghaednia was Instructor of Harvard Medical School where he co-directed the SORG Orthopaedic Research Group, and Mass General Brigham’s Orthopedic Registries at Massachusetts General Hospital where he led the first Image based orthopedic registry using deep learning. His research encompasses the design of smart implants, electrical impedance tomography, acoustic sensing systems, and machine learning models for early detection of disease. Dr. Ghaednia holds a PhD in mechanical engineering and has more than 65 peer reviewed publications on topics ranging from bone tissue engineering to electrical impedance tomography. Dr. Gardenia has patented more than 10 novel biomedical devices and orthopedic implants. He is also actively involved in mentoring and expanding PhD programs in health artificial intelligence.
