Armin Yazdanshenas

Armin Yazdanshenas has been working in the engineering industry since 2017. In 2017, they worked as an Undergraduate Research Assistant at the Center for Advanced Vehicular Systems. In 2018, they started working as a Graduate Research Assistant at the University of Texas at Tyler, where they developed an automatic C-Arm repositioning system using machine vision and A.I. to help improve the quality of spine surgery. Armin also performed structural, dynamic, and transient analyses using ANSYS for gear manufacturing and hypersonic missile nose cone designs. Armin used servo, PID, image processing, and robotic vision controls to balance a ball on a dynamic plate, and designed and simulated a robotic walking-aid using SolidWorks for lower-limb rehabilitation. Armin also recreated a model for analyzing the structural complexity of highly integrated engineering systems such as aircraft engines and navy ships. Armin wrote external grant proposals for the NSF ($404,994) and DRRP ($499,998), and published 4 scientific papers on robotics, machine vision, automation, and Industry 4. In 2020, they began working at Harmonic Bionics, Inc. as a Mechanical Engineer, Product Engineer, and Robotics Associate.

Armin Yazdanshenas completed their Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering from Mississippi State University from 2015 to 2018. Armin then went on to obtain a Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Texas at Tyler from 2018 to 2019. In April 2016, they obtained a Certified SolidWorks Associate from SolidWorks. Additionally, in February 2020, they obtained an Engineer In Training from the Texas Board of Professional Engineers and Land Surveyors.
