Nada Ahmed is a Doctoral Candidate in the Biomedical Systems group at the Institute of Automatic Control, RWTH Aachen University. As part of the MSCA DN–AERIALIST project, her research focuses on probabilistic, data-driven sensor fusion for reliable state estimation under real-world challenges such as limited number of used sensors and uncertainty in sensor locations. By integrating sensor fusion with techniques such as magnetic SLAM, she aims to advance rehabilitation robotics in complex indoor environments.

Nada holds a Master’s degree in Robotics, Control, and Smart Systems from the American University in Cairo. Her previous work includes developing an EMG-assisted active knee rehabilitation device for unsupervised settings.

Her research interests include state estimation, adaptive control, data-driven approaches, and human–robot interaction for rehabilitation and assistive devices.
