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

Year: Junior

Major: Biomedical Engineering

I am currently working on the Prostate Cancer Machine Learning Project which involves replicating machine learning models from the ProstateX challenges and testing the models on the GW database.

Uma Sharma

Year: Junior

Major: Biomedical Engineering (+ minor in Computer Science)

Uma is a junior studying Biomedical Engineering with a minor in Computer Science. She is currently working on the lab’s RTI project, using Reflectance Transformation Imaging to create dynamically lit 3D images of biological surfaces. She is also working on a second project using convolutional neural networks to detect abnormalities in breast tumor microenvironments.

My name is Anasia and I am a junior BME in the lab! I enjoy reading, cooking, and exercising.

Ida Ulduz Motedayen-Aval

Year: Sophomore

Major: Biomedical Engineering

From Newton Massachusetts, Pre Dental, member of Alpha Omega Epsilon, hobbies: plays the guitar, reads comic books, and runs marathons.

Rahil Patel

Year: Sophomore

Major: Neuroscience

Rahil is a sophomore studying Neuroscience as part of the 7 year BA/MD program. He is currently working on an imaging anonymization project, focusing on whether scrambled imaging data can still be used for clinical purposes. He is also working on a systematic review looking at trends between machine learning usage for imaging and reported demographic information.
