Amir Parham Pirhadi Rad

Amir is an MSc student in the Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine at the University of British Columbia (UBC). Amir successfully completed his Master of Biomedical Engineering Science and Research branch at Azad University and pursued his education in Master of Business Administration (MBA) at University Canada West in Vancouver, Canada.

Amir’s area of research is focused on customized Cranio-Maxilla Facial implant designs and 3D printers. Amir currently working on the development and optimization of an optical sensor for monitoring Free Tissue Transfer (FTT) hemodynamics and function. His work involves the development of an innovative, custom-designed sensor that is specifically designed to capture real-time tissue oxygenation data during complex reconstructive head and neck surgeries.

Amir’s research is conducted at the Implantable Biosensing Laboratory (IBL) under the supervision of Dr. Babak Shadgan at the International Collaboration on Repair Discoveries (ICORD) in Vancouver, BC.
