Amer Zaylaa

Current Position:

Wissenschaftler – Scientist

Research Interests:

I am interested in biomedical engineering, biomedical signal & image processing with data science.

Current projects:

I am currently involved in DFG-ANR project where my responsibility is:
– Performing bio-magnetic measurements of brain and heart activity at fMEG center, Universitätsklinikum Tübingen, Deutschland.
– Analysis of recorded data with the superconducting quantum interference devices and optical pumped magnetometer in pregnant women and neonates.
– Comparing sensitivity of the two measurements
– Supporting the development of a model for the bio-magnetic signal generation in the fetus.
Previous research projects:
– Automatic Detection of Contractions in Electro-hysterogram using 4×4 matrix electrodes placed on the abdomen of pregnant women at University of Technology of Compiegne, France, and Lebanese University, Lebanon.
– Detection of EMG matrix electrodes alignment using nonlinear correlation coefficient h2 at Lebanese University, Lebanon & University of Technology of Compiegne, France.
