Omneya Attallah

Prof. Omneya Attallah received her Ph.D. from Aston University, Birmingham, United Kingdom, in Electrical and Electronics Engineering. Her doctoral research focused on developing an intelligent tool for predicting the risk of re-intervention following vascular repair surgeries. This pioneering work paved the way for her to build a distinguished career filled with achievements in artificial intelligence and healthcare.

Among her most notable international research accomplishments is her inclusion among the top 2% of scientists worldwide in her field based on citation impact, according to Stanford University, for four consecutive years (2022-2025). She has also been ranked among the top 0.05% of scientists globally throughout her academic career in the field of deep learning, as reported by ScholarGPS. In 2025, she received the prestigious Women’s Impact Award from the Falling Walls Foundation (Germany) in collaboration with Elsevier and Volkswagen Foundation. Additionally, she earned the Bioinformatics Sciences Award (2023) in recognition of her contributions to artificial intelligence and biological sciences.

Dr. Attallah’s research focuses on developing intelligent tools using AI for enhanced diagnosis and medical prediction, as well as employing wearable sensors and biosensors to enable long-term patient monitoring and remote rehabilitation. She has also contributed to the design of assistive technologies aimed at improving the quality of life for individuals with disabilities and supporting stress management.

Beyond her research, Dr. Attallah has been deeply committed to diversity and inclusion in science. She has participated in several initiatives that promote women’s participation in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) fields. She is a Senior Member of the IEEE, a member of Sigma Xi, the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM), and the Organization for Women in Science for the Developing World (OWSD). Furthermore, she serves as a research mentor at Neuromatch Academy and Egypt Scholars, having supervised numerous student research projects. She is also the co-founder of the Wearables, Biosensing, and Biosignal Processing Laboratory (WeBios Lab) at the Arab Academy for Science, Technology, and Maritime Transport (AASTMT).

Dr. Attallah continues her academic journey as Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Computational Intelligence in Biomedicine, in addition to serving as an editor for several renowned journals and as a technical committee member in numerous international conferences. She has received multiple accolades, including the Best Paper Award at the ACM ICICM 2022 Conference, travel grants from IEEE and the Women in Computing Association, and several research excellence awards from AASTMT. Her contributions also extend to local and international research projects focused on applying artificial intelligence in biomedical engineering and healthcare.
