Biography

I’m Pedram, a PhD candidate at the University of Toronto since Fall 2022, conducting research under the guidance of Dr. Tilak Dutta. As part of the EngineeringHealth team at KITE, I leverage my expertise in biomechanics for a project focused on slip prevention. My research explores how adopting safe walking strategies can mitigate the risk of slipping on icy surfaces. Through an interdisciplinary approach, I integrate biomechanics, motor learning, and motion analysis to address real-world challenges related to slip-induced falls and injuries.
