KAUST alumna and Electrical and Computer Engineering postdoctoral researcher Montserrat Ramirez De Angel won Best Pitch at the @IEEESENSORS 2026 Sensorpreneur Pitch for her “Magnetic Skin System for Voice Disorders.”
The wearable device tracks mouth movements and translates them into speech or text to help people with voice or speech sound disorders communicate. Developed in the Sensors Lab led by Professor @knsalama, the technology uses biocompatible magnetic skin patches and machine learning to enable speech reconstruction.
The award provides one year of industry mentorship to explore commercializing the project as a startup.

What if you could recreate Mars on Earth? 🚀
Researchers in the lab of Alexandre Rosado @Rosado_AS have built a Planetary Simulation Chamber at KAUST, designed to recreate Mars-like conditions and study how life responds to extreme environments.
The insights could help advance both future space exploration and solutions to challenges here on Earth.
