Hi! I'm Yousif
Integrated Biomedical Engineering & Health Sciences Student at McMaster University
Captivated by the complexities of the human body's biology and a passion for designing novel technologies that improve their user's quality of life has lead me to pursure an undergraduate degree in iBiomed.
I'm currently looking for a summer 2023 Co-op position in Biomedical Engineering.
Featured Projects
Here are some of my favourite projects I've worked on throughout my university career!
Design Project 1
September 2022 - October 2022
Design project 1 is a colloborative endeavour that consists of an ostomy bag prototype developed by three other iBiomed undergraduate students and I to solve the specific adversities of a fictional osteomate. The proposed design's main goal is to increase the lifespan of an ostomy bag by combatting leaks through the use of an additional adhesive. Furthermore design project 1 assists in concealing the ostomybag and delivering a quantitative analysis of the bag's volume to its user.

Design Project 2
October 2022 - December 2022
Novel hip implant design with characteristics that serve to meet a given patient's specific diagnosis. The design uses materials that would prevent the progression of aseptic loosening. The physical hip implant prototype was also accompanied by a python program and computer assisted designs of the 3 parts that compose the implant. This project was on display for the public at McMaster University's MDCL building where we answered various questions with regards to our design.

Design Project 3
January 2023 - March 2023
Automated inhaler that considers the incapability of children to self-administer their medication with consistent doses and with appropriate timing. This medical device makes use of a cam and follower mechanism accompanied with several electrical components such as a Raspberrypi, a motor, LEDs, a heart rate sensor, and a buzzer.
