What I'm looking for

I’m looking for an opportunity to apply robotics and mechatronics to affordable, automated healthcare and medical-AI systems—where research rigor, rapid prototyping, and real-world impact are valued.

I’m building my path in Robotics and Mechatronics with a clear goal: develop affordable, assistive and automated healthcare solutions. Through hands-on STEM work, I’ve led research and teams to turn ideas into working prototypes, even under intense time pressure.

In my ISEF Biosensor Project, I built an air quality biosensor from scratch using cellulose from water hyacinth and recycled materials, collaborating to refine extraction methods. After multiple failed prototypes, I rebuilt the sensor before competition and helped our team earn Bronze Medal (3rd Place) at Intel ISEF Egypt. I also led mission-driven hackathons and platform work (NASA Space Apps; Technovation Girls), and I develop AI and embedded systems—building a TensorFlow/Keras neural network for medical image processing and designing Arduino-based traffic adaptation using real-time sensors.
