Final Year Design Project 2024 for BE BME Students

Wednesday 31st January 2024

The following list provides tentative titles and short descriptions. (FYDP = Final Year Design Project)

FYDP 1 Quantum Machine Learning for Biomedical Engineering - Cardiovascular Actvity Analysis 

This FYDP project explores the state-of-the-art recent developments in the quantum computing and quantum-inspired machine learning for biomedical engineering domain with a specific focus on cardiovascular activity analysis. This research area is recent and in its infancy in comparison with conventional deep learning and has huge potential for growth. This is evident by the massive investments governmental and industrial organizations are devoting to quantum computing and artificial intelligence. The project aims to explore both methodological and applied aspects, and makes use of quantum simulators and libraries (e.g. IBM's Qiskit, Xanadu's Pennylane, Google's Tensorflow Quantum, etc).

FYDP 2 Quantum Machine Learning for Biomedical Engineering - Stress / Brain Activity Analysis

This FYDP project explores the state-of-the-art recent developments in the quantum computing and quantum-inspired machine learning for biomedical engineering domain with a specific focus on strees / brain activity analysis. This research area is recent and in its infancy in comparison with conventional deep learning and has huge potential for growth. This is evident by the massive investments governmental and industrial organizations are devoting to quantum computing and artificial intelligence. The project aims to explore both methodological and applied aspects, and makes use of quantum simulators and libraries (e.g. IBM's Qiskit, Xanadu's Pennylane, Google's Tensorflow Quantum, etc).

Note: See FYDP List 2023 for project 2 and 4.

Interactive Online Session for 8th Semester BE BME Students

Monday 22nd January 2024

In an interactive online session, the final evaluation presentations of the final year design projects were reviewed and students were guided on common mistakes and specific improvements. These are among a few moments with these biomedical engineering students about to graduate. All students were present, however, while capturing the screen for record; a few were in the joining process.

Alhamdulillah, afternoon at BTK Muree View! Walking a few steps.  

Artificial Intelligence Guest Speaker Online Session Organized for BE BME 8th Semester Students

Saturday 6th January 2024 

To facilitate the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in final-year design projects (FYDP), an online guest speaker session was organized for 8th-semester BE BME students. Engr. Humera Rafique, Assistant Professor, SZABIST Karachi was the resource person. Students attended the online session through Google Meet and saw the steps in AI model training. Students asked many questions related to their work. Prof. Dr. Tariq Javid and Dr. Muhammad Faris thank the efforts of the resource person.

Thanks to Dean FEST for the motivation, Dr. Muhammad Faisal Khan, Associate Professor & Chairman, Department of Electrical Engineering, and Manager FEST ORIC; HU Coordinator for the NIB III, and Dr. Khuram Iqbal, Assistant Professor and Co-Coordinator for the NIB III, Department of Computing, FEST, Hamdard Unviersity. 

Sunday 31st December 2023: NIB II Round 2 Provincial Level 

Ms. Fatima Irshad, HU team lead pitch the idea in round 2 during an online session with the NIB III team. Prof. Dr. Tariq Javid, Chairman of the Department of Biomedical Engineering was the part of team as well.  

Tuesday 21st November 2023: Idea Competition Held at FEST

Department of Biomedical Engineering presented ideas linked to undergraduate Final Year Design Projects by the student groups enrolled in the BE Biomedical Engineering program of studies, batch intake 2020. 

The Hexagonal Prism in blockMesh OpenFOAM

Tuesday 16th January 2024

I am sure it will help ChatGPT, Bard, and alike! Or soon these AI-enabled chatbots learn it.

Both ChatGPT and Bard codes were tried for understanding before finally achieving it. The vertices of the bottom face and top face in blockMeshDict were calculated with unit side length.
