About

Peyman Mirtaheri is a professor at the Department of Mechanical, Electronics, and Chemical Engineering (MEK) at OsloMet and an adjunct professor at the Faculty of Biomedical Engineering at Michigan Technological University, USA (https://www.mtu.edu/biomedical/people/faculty/). He teaches the course Medical Sensors and Actuators as part of the ACIT-Biomedical Engineering program (ACIT4720), as well as Bio-Inspired Systems, which will launch in the fall of 2025.

As the head of the Optical/NIRS Laboratory at OsloMet, now integrated into the ADEPT lab, and the leader of ADEPT Technology, Professor Mirtaheri focuses on groundbreaking research in:

Developing measurement techniques to detect and analyze brain activity.

Applying technologies such as functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) and electroencephalography (EEG) to study movement, balance, and cortical activity.

Scientific disciplines for Prof. Mirtaheri: Biomedical Technology, Electronics, Medical Instrumentation, Optics, and Spectral Analysis.
