Ban Shoukeir
Year: Senior
Major: Biomedical Engineering
Ban is a senior studying Biomedical engineering. She is currently working on the Tumor Microenvironment project that uses machine learning to detect whether a breast tumor is benign or cancerous depending on the features of its microenvironment.
Malik Byrd
Year: Junior
Major: Biomedical Engineering
Malik is a junior studying Biomedical Engineering. He is currently working on the RTI Dome project which uses Reflectance Transformation Imaging to reveal texture information and other features on the object that are invisible to the naked eye.
Nashwa Khan
