Meet the Team

We are a group of five students from Imperial College London, studying Biomedical Engineering. This project is part of our third-year studies.

Team Members

Eva Tadros

Eva is a 4th year medical student undertaking an MBBS Medicine degree at Imperial, joining the Biomedical Engineering team as part of her intercalation. Eva believes that this project will be a fantastic way to utilise her skills and knowledge of physiology and anatomy, as well as develop coding skills during Phase Two of the project - ECG analysis. So far, she has been thoroughly involved with researching HRV and the physiology, as well as delving into the practical applications and specific conditions to which it is relevant. Her responsibilities include acting as team leader, as well as editing and designing the presentation on a weekly basis.

Choi Wan Yip

Choi Wan is a 3rd Year MEng Biomedical Engineering student who has opted for the Computational Bioengineering stream. She has had many opportunities in making use of a range of programming languages such as MATLAB, Python and SQL, and hopes to do the same in this project. In the past, she has undertaken a successful yearlong project in extended essay writing, focusing on stem cell research. Through a varied aspect of human physiology, she would like to exercise her extensive skills in technical research and writing, to make a considerable difference to this project. She is the primary contact outside of weekly meetings, communicating and relaying messages efficiently amongst team members and supervisors.

Tarane Subramaniam

Tarane is a 3rd Year MEng Biomedical Engineering student taking the Electrical Engineering stream. She believes the modules she takes in this pathway could be extremely beneficial to the project especially during Phase 2 when it comes to developing signal processing methods to analyze ECG signals. She also believes she can contribute immensely during Phase 1 of this project which involves a 'library' investigation through her experience in writing a systematic literature review from the time she worked on her Undergraduate Research Opportunity Project (UROP) last summer. She is also the person-in-charge of taking minutes during team meetings with the project supervisor which facilitates the team's detailed weekly action plans.

Calista Adele Yapeter

Calista is also a 3rd Year MEng Biomedical Engineering student on the Electrical Engineering Pathway. She is currently taking the Digital Biosignal Processing module, which has helped her develop MATLAB skills for ECG signal analysis. She has also learned Programming in C, C++ and Java, where she learned to create user interfaces. She recently completed an Undergraduate Research Opportunity Project (UROP) on liquid biopsies over the summer, where she extensively researched on their uses and current detection methods. Additionally, she created a database of liquid biopsy technologies, which will be beneficial in organising commercially available cardiorespiratory monitors based on their features, functions and certifications. She believes that her experience in editing a review paper will be useful in reporting the team's work and results.

Rebecca Vickery

Rebecca is a 3rd Year MEng Biomedical Engineering student on the Mechanical Engineering Stream. She believes that coming from a different area of interest will allow her to assess the challenges of the project in a new light. Her interest in the project stems from her experience of analysing cardiorespiratory parameters as part of her Medical Science I practicals looking at ECG signals and also during her Electrical Engineering I project designing an electronic heart rate monitor. One of her main responsibilities on the Heart Rate Variability Project was to set up and then maintain this wiki.
