Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Magda El‐Shenawee, a professor at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, focuses her research on the application of terahertz (THz) imaging and related technologies for the detection and characterization of breast cancer. Her work utilizes advanced computational techniques, including deep learning and supervised Bayesian learning, to analyze THz imaging data for improved diagnostic accuracy. El‐Shenawee has investigated the use of THz imaging in both human and animal models, including Sprague Dawley rats induced with mammary tumors, to evaluate its effectiveness in identifying tumor margins and characteristics.

Her research group also explores the fundamental aspects of THz technology, such as the development and modeling of THz antennas, including those utilizing novel materials like black phosphorus. El‐Shenawee has secured federal funding for her work, including a $424,545 award from the NIH/National Cancer Institute for research on "Terahertz Polarization Imaging for Detecting Breast Tumor Margins." She collaborates with researchers at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, including Nagma Vohra, Jose Santos Batista, Hugh Churchill, and Alexander Nelson, contributing to a shared publication record.
