Rania Gamal is a PhD Candidate in the Electrical and Computer Engineering department at McGill University. Her research focuses on designing broadband silicon photonic biosensors for the purpose of creating point-of-care devices. Previously, she worked as a research assistant at the Center for Nanoelectronics and Devices at the Zewail City for Science and Technology in Cairo, Egypt, where she has done research on sensing using silicon-nanowire based structures, as well as mid-infrared sensing using silicon plasmonics. Rania was also the teaching assistant for the course, “Thermodynamics of Computing” at McGill University
My research interests include optical biosensors, integrated photonics and optical nanostructures.
