Dr. Fatemeh Jazinizadeh is an instructor, a design mentor, and a postdoctoral research fellow in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at McMaster University. She received her Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from McMaster University and also has earned an M.Sc. degree in Biomedical Engineering, and two B.Sc. degrees in Biomedical Engineering (minor in Biomechanics) and Industrial Engineering (minor in System Design and Analysis). Her educational interests include the areas of engineering pedagogy, problem-based learning, and promoting equity, diversity, and inclusion in teaching and learning. Dr. Jazinziadeh’s research spans the fields of injury and orthopedic biomechanics with a focus on creating predictive models of musculoskeletal injury development and progression using image processing and machine learning. She has been nominated and received several awards and grants, including the Jack Perkins Prize for the best paper published in the Medical Engineering and Physics (2020), MITACS Accelerate Fellowship Award, Industry Partnership Grant from AMGEN Canada, and Governor’s General Academic Gold Medal nomination (2020).
