Catch Us Monday 08/24 in the Student Union!

We’re kicking off the semester with outreach! Come find us in the Student Union from 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM on 08/24, where we’ll be promoting our EEG study and collecting handwriting data. With so many new students around campus, we’re excited to spark interest in our research and welcome anyone who wants to contribute to our study! We can’t wait to see you all there. Here’s a sneak peek from our last outreach event so you know where to spot us!

New Member Meherin Tasfia Joins in August 2026!

A lot of things have changed since our last update! We’re excited to share that we recently welcomed a new graduate student to the lab. Meherin Tasfia, who joined at the start of August! She will be taking over the entotic cells project.

We hope they feel welcomed to the lab, and we’re looking forward to all that’s to come

International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine & Biology Society 2026

We’re delighted to share that Dr. Barkana attended the International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine & Biology Society (EMBC) in Toronto, Canada, held July 26-30, 2026. She had the wonderful opportunity to present her outstanding research, “High-Sensitivity Detection and Quantification of Entotic Cell-in-Cell Structures in Cancer Histopathology Using YOLOv8 and Geometric Reasoning.”

It was a fantastic conference to attend, filled with inspiring discussions and connections with fellow researchers. We’re so proud to have had the chance to share our work with the global community and can’t wait to see where these conversations lead next!

CoDIT 2026

At CoDIT 2026, Bayan Ahmad presented her work, “Comparing the Neural and Behavioral Outcomes of Fine and Gross Motor Language Intervention in Children with DLD: An Exploratory Study,” in the Signal Processing Session, while Maria Valentina Leyba Mesa presented her work, “Compact ResNet18 with Test-Time Adaptation: Balancing Accuracy and Latency for Parkinson’s Disease Screening,” in the Image Processing Session. They both did an amazing job presenting and also helping chair sessions!

New Members Julia Ehnot May 2026!

We’re excited to share that we recently welcomed new undergrad to the lab. We’re happy to introduce our newest undergrad, Julia Ehnot, who joined in May 2026 and is now helping out Bayan and Rae in the EEG lab.

We hope she enjoys working with us!
