Aminah Jawed

Highly motivated Biomedical Engineering MEng student with a strong academic foundation and hands-on experience in medical technology and prototyping. With a passion for innovation in prosthetics and neural engineering, I bring advanced technical skills, a collaborative mindset, and a results-driven approach. My goal is to contribute to groundbreaking advancements in healthcare technology through a role in biomedical engineering.

Design and Analysis of Conductive Scaffolds for Brain Tissue Engineering Using Two-Photon Polymerization
My dissertation involves designing and fabricating conductive microstructured scaffolds to support neural cell growth and enable electrical signal transmission. The project leverages two-photon polymerisation to optimise scaffold materials and structures for advanced brain tissue engineering applications.

Self-stabilising spoon

We were assigned to create a self-stabilizing spoon for individuals with hand tremors. Our team conducted thorough research on the impact of Parkinson's disease on patients' daily activities to inform our design choices. We developed a C++ code for Arduino to control two servo motors, which counteract tremor movements. The design was crafted using SOLIDWORKS CAD software and subsequently 3D printed to accommodate the electrical components. As the project leader, I coordinated weekly meetings to ensure all team members contributed effectively towards achieving our objectives. 

3D Hand visualisation Software 

In my third-year university project, I designed and implemented a physical hardware device to visually represent hand movements captured by a glove. The project required proficiency in programming languages such as Unity, MATLAB, and Python. Through this endeavor, I acquired valuable skills in time management, advanced coding, and software development. Additionally, I managed component procurement, constructed a physical prototype, and integrated a Raspberry Pi into the system.
