Mohamed Elgendi (born October 25 in Alexandria, Egypt) is a biomedical and electrical engineer researcher specializing in health related and non-health related signal processing, machine learning, algorithm development, data analysis and big data management. In 2013 he became a Senior Member of IEEE (The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers) in honor of his long standing membership and scholarly contributions to academics and regularly participates as an active member; in 2016 he served as the Publication Co-Chair for the IEEE conference.

Dr. Elgendi has made significant contributions to the engineer and biomedical community through his published work that is cited by academics across the world. Dr. Elgendi obtained his PhD and master's degree from Charles Darwin University and attended on a full scholarship. In 2016 he was awarded the prestigious Mining Miracles Award from BC Children's Research Institute and The University of British Columbia in recognition of his specialty work in women's health and signal analysis.

Early in his career, Dr.Elgendi was an invited visitor to MIT (2007 and 2009) to present on his research. Dr. Elgendi "presented three papers as a major contribution to the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers 35th Annual Northeast Bioengineering Conference held at Merck Research Laboratories and Harvard Medical School.". His main focus has been on signal processing and global health solutions, and from 2015–2016 was part of the PRE-EMPT, a global health initiative funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation

Some of his most notable work was done as a Research Associate at Nanyang Technological University in Singapore (2010) on EEG Sonification under the supervision of Prof. Justin Dauwels and Prof. Nadia Magnenat Thalmann. He continued his work in the area of health sciences two years later when he moved to Canada to work as a Postdoc Fellow at the University of Alberta (2012–2014), Canada under the supervision of Prof. Dale Schuurmans and Prof. Ian Adatia. Dr. Elgendi worked on lung health and after his successes in Alberta, he transitioned to continue his research at the University of British Columbia (2014–Present).

His current focus is on mobile health, and bridging biology and engineering. Signal analysis specialties include heart sound, speech, electrocradiogram, photoplethysmogram, Electromyography, electroencephalogram signal analysis and pattern recognition.
