Omar Aziz received the B.Eng. degree in 2005 in Mechatronics Engineering from the National University of Science and Technology, Islamabad, Pakistan, the MASc. degree in 2009 and the Ph.D. degree in 2015 from the School of Engineering Science, Simon Fraser University, Burnaby, BC, Canada. He is a Postdoctoral Fellow at Biomechatronic Systems Laboratory at Simon Fraser University, Surrey, BC, Canada. His research interests include: wearable sensors and their application to human movement analysis, human activity classification, injury prevention in older adults, biomechanics, robotics, and control. At Simon Fraser University, his research focuses on the development of a wearable sensor systems and corresponding machine learning algorithms to monitor activity patterns, to detect falls pre- and post-impact, to determine the causes of falls, and to distinguish events of imbalance and near falls from activities of daily living.
