Hi! I'm Yousif

Electrical and Biomedical Engineering 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 2025 Co-op position that falls within the field of Electrical and Biomedical Engineering.

Featured Projects

Here are some of my favourite personal projects I've developed throughout my University career as well as in my spare time! For more information on these projects and more head over to my GitHub Page .

Prosthetic Hip Implant

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.

Peter Puffer

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. This project combines both software and hardware, click below to read more!

Ostomy Bag

Enhanced Ostomy Bag

September 2022 - October 2022

This project is a colloborative endeavour that consists of an ostomy bag prototype developed by myself and 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 the project assists in concealing the ostomybag and delivering a quantitative analysis of the bag's volume to its user.
