Researchers from BMERC receive awards from two prestigious international conferences
 
Zheng Miaomiao, a postgraduate student at the School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering (EEE), carrying out her research work at the Biomedical Engineering Research Center at NTU, won the second prize in a Student Paper Competition at the prestigious Seventh Australian and New Zealand Intelligent Information Systems (ANZIIS 2001) Conference organised by the Institution of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE)/Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society, USA. The Conference was held from 18-21 Nov 2001 in Perth, Australia. Her paper titled “Decision Support by Fusion in Endoscopic Diagnosis” was first selected for the competition and later won the prize based on the content of the paper, oral presentation and answering of questions posed at the conference. Her paper was co-authored with her supervisor, A/P S M Krishnan, Director of the Biomedical Engineering Research Centre at NTU. 

Ms Sun was listed in the top three finalists in the Young Investigator Competition of the Association for the Advancement of Medical Instrumentation (AAMI) 2001 Conference & Expo in July 2001 in Baltimore, USA. AAMI organises international conferences annually to lead the way in medical instrumentation and healthcare technology, management and support. Ms Sun's award-winning paper, titled "A Novel Intelligent ECG Signal Processor for Arrhythmia Recognition Using Advanced Signal Processing and Pattern Recognition Techniques", co-authored with her supervisors, A/Prof. Chan Kap Luk and A/Prof. Krishnan, involves research on cardiovascular information analysis by unsupervised learning for diagnosis of heart diseases.
