Omar Ahmed

M.S. Student, Bioengineering
Omar Ahmed is an MS student in the Bioengineering department at KAUST. His research explores the mechanisms that enable brain signal generalisability across individuals, addressing how neural activity patterns can be reliably interpreted despite significant inter-subject and temporal variability. A major challenge in neuroscience is that brain activity varies substantially between people and even within the same person over time, which limits the development of universal diagnostic and therapeutic tools. Towards this goal, Omar is developing deep learning models that can identify consistent

On-chip lasers for optical computing

Optical computing photonic hardware accelarators aims to create faster and more efficient computing systems and artificial intelligence systems. Optical computing utilizes light instead of electricity to transmit data, which can potentially lead to significant increases in speed and power efficiency. On-chip lasers play a crucial role in this field by providing the necessary light sources on the same single chip. The development of on-chip lasers requires a multidisciplinary approach, combining expertise in materials science, computer science, and photonics. Despite the challenges involved
