Hamdard University Department of Biomedical Engineering has organized a hands-on workshop entitled, Exploring Biosignals: Fundamentals of PowerLab for Teaching and Learning, held on 29th September 2026 at the Faculty of Engineering Sciences & Technology. We are thankful to the HUVC and Dean FEST for approving the proposal submitted by Dr Maryam Gulshan, Assistant Professor, BME - provided coordination. Thanks to Mr Naseem, Admin FEST, and his team for making arrangements. The resource person was Dr. Nauman Aziz, ADInstruments. PowerLab by ADInstruments is a high-performance data acquisition hardware and software system used to record and analyze analog and digital physiological signals in life science research and education. After the review of essentials by Dr Nauman, the hands-on sessions were conducted to measure the photoplethsmogram (PPG) and the electrocardiogram (ECG). Another important aspect of the workshop was the participation of faculty members from the Faculty of Pharmacy and Faculty of Health & Medical Sciences. The Department of Biomedical Engineering at Hamdard University provides services to HU organizational units in the development and implementation of solutions for teaching, learning, and research.
