WIBE - Women in Biomedical Engineering - Day 2
This is a fundraising event for the NGO CARE Perú, which aims to fight against poverty and social injustice, with a specific focus on the empowerment of women and girls. This organization shares the same values and objectives as WIBE, so we have decided to support their projects to indirectly contribute to improving the quality of life and education of girls in Peru. By attending, you not only gain knowledge and boost your professional career, but you also contribute to a positive and significant change in society.
The event lasts for three days, with Thursday, the 20th, and Friday, the 21st, being virtual, while on Saturday, the 22nd, there will be an in-person session, which includes two presentations and a workshop conducted by the EMBS PUCP team.

Speakers
Jennifer Sinclair Curtis, PhD.
Biography:
Professor Curtis' research areas focus on the development of fundamental models to predict particle flow phenomena. Fluid flow simulations have been effectively used by the industry for many years, but currently, many industries such as energy, pharmaceutical, aerospace, chemical, agricultural, and others employ multiphase flow simulations to aid in the design and optimization of processes. Professor Curtis' particle flow models have been widely adopted by both commercial and open-source computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software packages. She was the first to partner with ANSYS Fluent to greatly expand its multiphase simulation capability.
Seulia Fleury, PhD.
Biography:
Dr. Seulia Fleury is an associate professor and research scientist at the University of Brasília (UnB). She is the president of the Center-North Chapter R9 in Latin America and is currently a distinguished lecturer of the IEEE EMBS. She holds senior membership in the IEEE and participates in several IEEE societies, including the Electron Devices Society (EDS), the Microwave Theory and Techniques Society (MTT-S), and the Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society (EMBS). Additionally, Dr. Fleury is the head of the Biomaterials Laboratory (BioEngLab).
Rosa H. M. Chan, PhD.
Biography:
Dr. Rosa H. M. Chan is an associate professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering at the City University of Hong Kong. Her research areas include computational neuroscience, neural prosthetics, and human-computer interaction. She received her B. Eng. (First Class Honors) in Computer-Aided and Automation Engineering from the Chinese University of Hong Kong in 2003. Subsequently, in 2004, she was awarded the Croucher Scholarship and the Sir Edward Youde Memorial Fellowship for Overseas Studies. She obtained her Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering in 2011 from the University of Southern California, where she also earned her M.S. degrees in Biomedical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, and Aerospace Engineering. In 2013, she was a co-recipient of the Best Paper Award from IEEE Transactions on Neural Systems and Rehabilitation Engineering for her advancements in mathematical modeling for cognitive prosthetics.
