Ricketts Outstanding Provost Scholar Award<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>This award is given to an outstanding recipient of the Provost Scholar Award. The award is named for Peter J. Ricketts, who served as the Provost and Vice-President (Academic) at Carleton for eight years. The inaugural award, worth an additional $1,000, was presented to Computer Systems Engineering student Mohamed Hozayen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hozayen maintained his spot on the Dean\u2019s Honour List while taking part in research through a Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council award and the I-CUREUS program (Internship-Carleton University Research Experience for Undergraduate Students). He\u2019s also been published four times, an extremely rare feat for an undergraduate student.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hozayen says support from his professors helped him succeed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cDr. Adrian Chan is the first professor I did research with after first year, in his&nbsp;Biomedical Signal Quality Analysis Laboratory, and he had a significant impact on me as&nbsp;a person,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Their work together resulted in a publication in the 2017 IEEE International Symposium on Medical Measurements and Applications. Another publication he co-authored, a paper in the IEEE Transactions on Instrumentation and Measurement journal, showed his research on real-time patient monitoring using pressure-sensitive mats with Prof. James Green.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After his second year, Hozayen conducted research with Green at the Children\u2019s Hospital of Eastern Ontario in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. It\u2019s here that Hozayen designed Patient Monitor Data Import software that imports and parses multiple data streams from patient monitors in order to help researchers with data acquisition and analysis.&nbsp;And he\u2019s not slowing down anytime soon. Right now, he\u2019s working full-time as a researcher at Carleton. Next year, he\u2019ll start his master\u2019s with Prof. Halim Yanikomeroglu and, eventually, he wants to create his own company.<\/p>\n\n\n<p>[cu_shortcodes_buttons title=&#8221;Read the full story&#8221; url=&#8221;http:\/\/newsroom.carleton.ca\/story\/spring-convocation-computer-systems-engineering-students-software-goes-global&#8221; style=&#8221;red&#8211;outline&#8221; class=&#8221;left&#8221; \/]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"supporting-undergraduate-research\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Supporting Undergraduate Research<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>\n<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image wp-image-24048 size-medium\"><figure class=\"alignright\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/provost\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/98\/I-CUREUS-Conference_350x230-11-240x158.jpg\" alt=\"Commerce student Gemma Rod presents her research to Provost Jerry Tomberlin at the I-CUREUS Conference\" class=\"wp-image-24048\"\/><figcaption>Commerce student Gemma Rod presents her research to Provost Jerry Tomberlin at the I-CUREUS Conference<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>67 undergraduate students received funding through The Internship-Carleton University Research Experience for Undergraduate Students (I-CUREUS) program.
