Kamiar AminianKamiar Aminian received the M.S. degree in electrical engineering in 1982, the Ph.D degree in biomedical engineering in 1989 and the Postgraduate degree on technical computing in 1993 from Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL). He was assistant professor (1994-1996) with Sharif University of Technology (Tehran). He joint EPFL in 1996 where he is currently Professor of medical instrumentation and the director of the Laboratory of Movement Analysis and Measurement in the Institute of Bioengineering of EPFL. His research interests include methodologies for human movement monitoring and analysis in real world conditions mainly based on wearable technologies and inertial sensors with emphasis on gait, physical activity and sport. His research aims to perform outcome evaluation in orthopaedics, to improve motor function and intervention programs in aging and patients with movement disorders and pain, and to identify metrics of performance in sport science.
Kamiar Aminian is a member of the International Society of Posture and Gait Research, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, the European Society of Movement Analysis in Adults and Children, the Prevention of fall Network Europe, the Intentional Society of Biomechanics and the President of the 3D analysis of the human movement group. He is author or co-author of more than 450 scientific papers published in reviewed journals and presented at international conferences and holds 10 patents related to medical devices.

Michel DeclercqMichel J. Declercq received the Electrical Engineering degree and the PhD degree from the Catholic University of Louvain, Belgium, in 1967 and 1971, respectively. In 1973, he was awarded a Senior Fulbright Fellowship, and joined Stanford University as a Research Associate in the Microelectronics Labs. From 1974 to 1978, he was Research Associate and lecturer at the Catholic University of Louvain, Belgium. In 1978, he joined the company Tractebel in Brussels, Belgium, where he was Group Leader of the Electronic Systems team.
In 1985, Dr. Declercq joined the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (EPFL), Lausanne, Switzerland, where he is currently Professor, Dean of the School of Engineering, and Director of the Electronics Laboratory. His research activities are related to mixed analog-digital I.C. design and design methodologies. He is more particularly involved in low-power/low-voltage circuits, high-frequency circuits for telecommunications, MEMS and RF-MEMS, SOI technology and circuits, high-voltage circuits and Nano-electronics. He is author and co-author of more than 220 scientific publications and 3 books, and holds several patents.
He is a Fellow of the IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers).
Professor Declercq is expert by the European Commission for the scientific research programs in Information Technologies.
