I am an undergraduate student studying electrical engineering at McMaster University. I am passionate about using data-driven approaches to solve problems and am currently researching methods to automate analog design using machine learning. When I am not working on my computer, you can find me working out, cooking, or planning a last-minute adventure with friends. I love to bring people together for any excuse.

I am Sara Mahran, a PhD student in the Mac Analog Lab at University. I completed my BSc at Cairo University, Egypt in May 2018. Afterwards, I worked as a Teaching Assistant and Research Assistant at Nile in Egypt. In September 2019, I received a full scholarship to pursue my master's degree in the Electrical and Engineering Department at Concordia University, Montreal, Canada. I completed my MSc in May 2022, specializing in analog and mixed-signal IC design for wireline communications. I am looking forward to contributing to the ongoing research projects within the Mac Analog Lab team.

My name is Megan Saunders, and I am in my third year of the Electrical and Biomedical Engineering (iBio) program at McMaster.
