Almarri is a PhD holder, bioelectronics engineer, deep-tech entrepreneur and a 2025 Schmidt Science Fellow. She designed advanced implantable analog integrated circuits, fabricated at TSMC and XFAB, with her analog signal-sensing circuits tested aboard the U.A.E.’s Light-1 CubeSat mission to the International Space Station. In April 2024, she cofounded BioHarv Ltd, which developed a battery-free, self-powered cardiovascular monitoring implant enabling real-time, wire-free tracking of vital physiological signals without external power sources. The solution is advancing toward pre-clinical trials, and she has filed a U.S. patent for BioHarv.
