He finished M.Sc in automotive engineering at the Iran University of  Science and Technology in 2015. His master’s thesis was designing, developing, and optimizing a braking system for a Class-B vehicle. Also, Omid Arfaie finished his B.Sc. in mechanical engineering at the Tabriz university in 2011. His final project was using neural networks in sliding-controlling MEMS devices. He started his Ph.D. in mechanical engineering at Özyeğin University in 2019.

Projects:
Knee Exoskeleton
Muscle weakness of older adults makes daily living activities (ADLs) difficult. Designing and developing a knee exoskeleton to assist them during these ADLs is still one of the engineering challenges. In the human-centered design laboratory, we have designed and developed an entirely passive knee exoskeleton capable of giving more than 25% assistance during the sit-to-stance movement. Since there are rotational and translational movements in the knee joint biomechanics, using a cam slot in the knee joint makes the misalignment of this exoskeleton minimum in both directions during the sit-to-stand task.

Robotic Knee for Transfemoral Prosthesis
The increasing number of amputees worldwide makes it important to design and develop prostheses for these people to help them during their ADLs. Although the current passive prosthesis provides a range of torques and motions for ADLs during gait cycles, the desired provided torque and range of motions in other tasks, such as stair climbing or fast walking, is still challenging. We have designed and developed a novel robotic transfemoral knee prosthesis in the human-centered design laboratory that uses both passive mechanisms and active actuators to maximize mechanical efficiency and minimize the metabolic cost of the users.
