I will be leaving UNB in the Fall for a faculty position at the University of Birmingham…”
“Hi! I’m Ishtar, an Electrical and Computer Engineering Masters student at UNB. My research focuses on biomedical engineering, so I work at the Institute of Biomedical Engineering (IBME).

I loved the research, the work culture and the people, so I decided to come back here to pursue my graduate degree. In general, my interests are very broad. I enjoy controls, instrumentation, electronics, embedded systems and robotics…”
