SBME research reached a distinguished international stage at IEEE EMBC 2026, with a student paper selected as the Middle East & Africa Geographic Finalist in the IEEE EMBC Student Paper Competition. Madonna Mosaad represented the team at the conference in Toronto, Canada, presenting their work alongside finalists from around the world.

The IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Conference (EMBC) brings together the global biomedical engineering community to share advances spanning engineering, medicine, and healthcare technology. Among its student honors, the Student Paper Competition recognizes exceptional research from across the world, with selected papers representing the geographic regions of IEEE EMBS as Geographic Finalists at the conference.

The research was developed by Madonna Mosaad, Nancy Mahmoud, Yassien Tawfik, Mazen Marwan, and Mohamed Yasser, with mentorship from Assistant Professor Dr. Aya F. Khalaf, SBME graduate of 2024 Mahmoud Salman, and Professor Dr. Tamer Basha.

The Systems and Biomedical Engineering Department proudly congratulates Madonna, her teammates, and their mentors on this exceptional achievement. Representing the Middle East & Africa at the IEEE EMBC Student Paper Competition is a distinction that reflects the quality of student research at SBME and its growing presence within the international biomedical engineering community.
