" “Passion for innovation and service drives my work, as I believe technology should create meaningful impact in communities. The Millennium Fellowship excites me because it offers the chance to collaborate with global change makers, refine my leadership, and align my efforts with the UN Sustainable Development Goals. I am eager to use this platform to advance sustainable solutions in engineering and beyond, while learning from diverse perspectives to maximize social impact.” "
Millennium Fellowship Project: Air Quality Monitoring System
This project focuses on developing a smart IoT system to monitor indoor air quality in real-time, addressing the health risks associated with poor air conditions in enclosed spaces like offices, schools, and hospitals. The system uses sensors to detect CO₂, temperature, humidity, and particulate matter, sending data to a Graphical User Interface (GUI) for easy visualization and analysis.
The main goals are to raise awareness about indoor pollution, enable data-driven decisions for healthier environments, and encourage sustainable building management. The project integrates hardware, software, and IoT connectivity to provide accurate, continuous monitoring.
So far, the project has produced a fully functional prototype, demonstrated its effectiveness, and received recognition in the form of second place at Qatar University’s 2024 Summer Research Internship Program.
