June 2025

📍 Sarajevo, BiH

NT-2025: Youngest Presenter & New Robotics Association Member 🏆

Participated in the International Conference NT-2025 at Akademija nauka i umjetnosti Bosne i Hercegovine (ANUBiH) as the youngest presenter and newest member of the Robotics Association of BiH!

Presented my Master's thesis work — deep learning for stress detection using 3D LSTM through multimodal analysis of EEG and EKG data.

... and now, off to the new adventure! 🚀

May 2025

📍 Remote - Austria

BR41NIO Hackathon: Building NeuroSecure 🧠🔐

Over 700 attendees, and only one of them is Bosnian — me! ✨

Built "NeuroSecure" — a biometric authentication system powered by EEG data and ML classification models for cybersecurity enhancement in medical facilities.

Half the team did ML in Python, I handled the scary backend in raw MATLAB code (~300 lines for the mock-up). 😬

Looking forward to many more engineering adventures from Amina's RGB lab. Until then — stay curious. 🌊

May 2025

📍 Trieste, Italy 🇮🇹

13th CEI Spring School: Sole Representative for Bosnia 🇧🇦

Attended the 13th Spring School on clinical engineering organized by the Central European Initiative, University of Trieste, and BioingTS.

Honor and beyond to be the sole representative for my country and WeWomEngineers as an international ambassador!

Off to the new quest. 🧭🇧🇦

2025

📍 Sarajevo, BiH

CMBEBIH'25: From Student to Chair 🚂

Two years and nine publications after MEDICON23 & CMBEBIH23, here I come again!

Now a PhD student and full-time independent researcher, presenting a fragment of my Master's thesis on the greatest academic platform for young researchers in Southeastern Europe.

Representing WeWomEngineers as the Chair of International Ambassadorship team! 💚

April 2025

📍 Sarajevo, BiH

Soft Skills Academy 2025 💡

Because engineering isn't just about the code — it's about communication, leadership, and collaboration too!

This one was A HANDFUL. Intensive, challenging, and absolutely worth it. Sometimes the hardest skills to learn aren't the technical ones! 😅

2025

📍 Amina's RGB Lab

Switched to Linux — Changed the Way I Code 🐧

Switched to Debian full-time on my laptop. Fast, lightweight, full control.

Working directly in the terminal (scary at first, now it's a playground!), configuring systems, understanding how everything fits together.

If it ain't challenging — it ain't fun. 🔥

📍 Sarajevo, BiH

NT-2024: Industry of the Future — RNN Presentation 🧠

Presented at the conference "Industry of the Future: From Industry 4.0 to Industry 5.0" at ANUBiH.

Talked about mathematical modeling behind RNN in biomedical analysis — the final part of my Master's thesis trilogy. AI and ML are fun until we dive into the calculations! 📦

Until the next adventure, stay tenacious and curious!

2024

📍 Sarajevo, BiH

ANUBiH: Industry 4.0 Conference 🏭

Contributing to the conversation on AI, automation, and the future of industry at the Academy of Sciences and Arts.

2024

📍 2024

Summer School: Telemedical Care & AI in Digital Health 🏥

Deep dive into telemedical care in pharmacy and AI integration in advancing digital health.

Exploring how technology can make healthcare more accessible and intelligent.

2024

📍 Trieste, Italy 🇮🇹

12th CEI Spring School in Trieste 🇮🇹

First time at the CEI Spring School in Trieste — an experience that led me to return as the sole Bosnian representative in 2025!

Clinical engineering, digital health, and making international connections. ♡

2024

📍 A New Chapter

"Is Getting a PhD Worth It?" — YES, With Purpose 💖

Discovered my AuDHD diagnosis right before PhD enrollment. My brain runs on two operating systems: autism craves order, ADHD thrives in chaos.

Decided to dedicate this stage of my life to those with no system or community to support them.

"We are not broken, but different by design, and just as valuable as anyone else."

I chose to fight prejudice and stigma through academic development. Find your purpose and fight for it.

2023

2023

📍 Sarajevo, BiH

MEDICON'23 & CMBEBIH'23: Chair + Presenter 🎓

Fresh out of Bachelor's, already making moves!

Chair of Biomechanics and Robotics session + student presenter with a comprehensive review paper on Brain-Computer Interfaces.

Also part of the local organizing committee for the conference.

This is where it all began... 🚀
