FAST Student Presents at IEEE International Conference
Sonya Patel, a third-year Electronics Engineering Technology student, presented a research paper on behalf of the research team, at the PerCom 2025 conference in Washington, DC!
Titled “Designing Silver Conductive Ink S-Curve Interconnects for Bio-potential Monitoring E-Textiles Via Material Deposition Fabrication” and lead by Dr. Maryam Davoudpour, the paper was presented as part of the Industry Track at the IEEE International Conference on Pervasive Computing and Communications (PerCom 2025).
Hosted in Washington, DC, from March 17 – 21, the conference was organized by IEEE and provided insightful knowledge on Pervasive Computing. The event featured discussions on AI-driven sensing, robotics, wireless networks, highlighting advancements in both academia and industry.
The Industry Track selected the top five submitted papers for presentation. This paper was the only one representing a collaboration between academia and industry, showcasing our joint efforts between Humber Polytechnic and the industry partner Conveyor Built. This work also benefited from contributions by esteemed researchers and professors from the Unity Health Network – St. Michaels, Toronto Metropolitan University, and the University of Toronto.
This research was supported by funding received from the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC) – Applied Research and Technology Partnership (ARTP) grant for “Wearables and Fabric Based Research, Innovation and Technology Development for Canadian SMEs”.
Authors and Humber participants include: Vlad Porcila (Technologist, Humber), Alfonso Miguel Alvaran (Humber Alumni and engineering student at McMaster University), Jeremy Nugara (Humber Alumni and engineering student at McMaster University), Ahsan Abdullah (Third year, Mechatronics Engineering at Humber), Sonya Patel (Humber), Adriana Ieraci (Toronto Metropolitan University), Dr. Sharon Gabison (University of Toronto), Dr. Jane Batt (Unity Health Toronto), Dr. Alireza Sadeghian (Toronto Metropolitan University), and Dr. Maryam Davoudpour (Humber).
