Biography

Sarah Power completed her B.Eng. in Electrical Engineering at Memorial University in 2006, followed by an M.A.Sc. in Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Toronto. She obtained her PhD in Biomedical Engineering from the same university. Her graduate research focused on exploring near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) for brain-computer interfaces, enabling movement-free communication for individuals with severe motor disabilities using their neural activity. After completing her doctoral studies, she served as a postdoctoral fellow at the Autism Research Centre at Holland Bloorview Kids Rehabilitation Hospital in Toronto, where she contributed to the development of smart technologies to enhance care for children with Autism Spectrum Disorders. In June 2015, she returned to Memorial University as an associate professor, holding joint appointments in the Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science and the Faculty of Medicine. Her research interests encompass biomedical engineering, physiological signal processing, and human factors, particularly the classification of mental states such as fatigue and workload through the analysis of EEG signals.
