Amir Shahzad
About
Amir Shahzad is a Biomedical Engineering undergraduate at Air University, Islamabad, with a strong technical focus on biopotential signal acquisition, biomedical instrumentation, and wearable medical system design. His work centers on acquiring, conditioning, and analyzing physiological signals including ECG, EMG, EOG, and EGG, with emphasis on signal quality, noise reduction, and extraction of clinically meaningful features. He actively engages in hands-on system development and applied biomedical research and has been recognized with Gold and Silver Medals for co-curricular excellence, reflecting sustained involvement in technical, leadership, and professional activities beyond coursework.
His project experience spans a broad range of applied biomedical systems. He has developed IoT-based patient monitoring platforms integrating ECG, PPG, heart rate, SpOâ‚‚, and temperature sensing using embedded controllers such as ESP32. His research-oriented work includes real-time anger detection using facial EMG and ECG, muscle fatigue analysis using surface EMG, custom facial EMG electrode design for wearable applications, and a near-infrared vein visualization device, with an abstract published at ICETBEST 2024. Across these projects, he has worked extensively with MATLAB, Simulink, Arduino IDE, Proteus, SolidWorks, and biomedical acquisition systems, focusing on complete end-to-end system development.
He has completed professional internships in both clinical and innovation-focused environments. As a Biomedical Engineer Intern at Bahria International Hospital, he gained practical exposure to hospital workflows, preventive maintenance, calibration, troubleshooting, and safety protocols for medical equipment. In parallel, during his internship at the Intellectual Property Organization (IPO) Pakistan, he developed a working understanding of patents, medical technology protection, and innovation documentation, strengthening his perspective on translating biomedical engineering solutions into protected technologies.
In addition to technical work, he remains actively involved in academic leadership and community development. He serves as President of the Biomedical Engineering Design Club, leading technical teams, mentoring students, and organizing workshops and academic events. He also works as a Trustee and National Representative Lead of Bazm-e-BME, coordinating biomedical engineering initiatives across multiple universities in Pakistan. His research interests include biomedical signal processing, IoT-enabled diagnostic devices, machine-learning applications in healthcare, and wearable medical technologies, with a long-term goal of developing reliable, clinically relevant, and scalable biomedical systems.
