Anel Murat, a final-year student from the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) at the School of Engineering and Digital Sciences (SEDS) of Nazarbayev University (NU), has been awarded the prestigious Undergraduate Summer Research Scholarship (USRS) by the IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society (AP-S), USA. This honor comes with a $3,000 USD scholarship.
Over the next 16 weeks, Anel will be fully immersed in her research project, "A High Performance MS and ML enabled DGS type Wireless Information and Power Transfer (WIPT) System for Biomedical Applications."
Anel has also been invited to submit a paper to the 2025 IEEE AP-S/International Union of Radio Science (URSI) Symposium, scheduled for July next year.
As her mentor, Prof. Mohammad Hashmi, a faculty member from the ECE department, explains, "IEEE, headquartered in the USA, is the world's largest technical professional organization dedicated to advancing technology for the benefit of humanity. The Undergraduate Research Scholarship from its Antennas and Propagation Society (APS) is a prestigious accolade, awarded to only a select few students globally. The rigorous application review process makes this award to Anel Murat a testament to the exceptional quality of education and research in the RF/Microwave domains at NU."
The award highlights the successful collaboration between student and faculty. Anel and Prof. Hashmi spent several weeks developing the proposal, debating research directions, and refining the draft. This achievement demonstrates that NU students receive outstanding education and are prepared to excel with proper mentorship. The infrastructure and opportunities at NU have enabled this student-faculty team to achieve recognition on a global stage.
The awarded project focuses on innovations in electronics for biomedical applications, aiming to develop technologies for wirelessly powering medical devices such as pacemakers, implants, and body-worn sensors. It also seeks to develop techniques for recording and monitoring patient data remotely, a critical area in the advancement of e-Health technologies.
The team intends to develop a prototype of the planned system and move towards commercialization. This next phase will not only advance the research but also potentially lead to significant contributions in the field of biomedical electronics.
