Lab Members

Malik Al-Lababidi

Malik graduated from the Mechanical Engineering department at The American University of Sharjah (AUS) in 2019. He received a graduate teaching assistantship from AUS to pursue his master degree in mechanical engineering starting spring 2020. Malik is interested in studying the fundamentals of electrical manipulation of liquid droplets on digital microfluidics devices. In his free time, Malik enjoys reading, watching documentaries, and most importantly, hanging out with friends.

Mohamed Agam

Mohamed graduated from the Biomedical Engineering department at Ajman University (AU) in 2017 and since then he has been working as a full time lab instructor until present. He started his master degree in Biomedical Engineering at the American University of Sharjah (AUS) in 2019. Mohamed is interested in the artificial organs field and found in microfluidics the knowledge that meets his interests like the organ-on-a-chip. His current research work is using microfluidics devices to synthesis liposomes to be used in targeted drug delivery to treat cancer.

Aisha Hamidu

I graduated from the Biomedical Engineering department at Ajman University in 2020. I received a scholarship to pursue my master’s degree in Biomedical Engineering at American University of Sharjah.

I am interested in studying microfluidics and its application in different fields. In my free time, I enjoy taking walks, playing badminton and meeting with friends.

Basmah Al-Khawaja

Basmah is a senior Mechanical Engineering undergraduate student at The American University of Sharjah (AUS). She is interested in studying digital microfluidics, a technology for manipulating micro droplets on open surfaces. Basmah’s senior design project is titled “Development of a Multilayer paper-based Digital Microfluidic Devices” which focuses on developing versatile, low cost digital microfluidic devices. After graduation, Basmah hopes to pursue her Master degree studying microfluidics and its biomedical applications. In her free time, Basmah enjoys swimming and cycling. She is a member of the AUS swimming training team.
