Moaz Ibrahim is an undergraduate researcher pursuing a degree in Computer Engineering at The University of Pittsburgh. Though originally from Egypt, he spent much of his life in Maryland and his current home is in Kentucky. His main interest is in computational applications within medicine, predominately imaging, and he joined the Wood Neuro Lab in the summer of 2023. He is working to develop a pipeline using machine learning and fMRI to find impairment in information flow between different regions of the brain in patients with Sickle Cell Disease. This will ultimately be used as a method for tracking neurodegeneration within these patients. Outside of academics and research, some of his hobbies include reading, listening to indie rock, and playing ping pong.
