Scientific innovations by national university students at “Abu Dhabi Business Week”

ABU DHABI, 4 December / WAM / Students from the Mohammed bin Zayed University of Artificial Intelligence and Khalifa University participate with their scientific research and innovations in the exhibition accompanying the “Abu Dhabi Business Week”, whose activities began today and will continue until the current December 6 at the “ADNEC” Centre.

Captain Salem Saqr Al Marri, assigned from the Dubai Police General Headquarters to study the doctoral program at the Mohammed bin Zayed University of Artificial Intelligence, specializing in computer vision, said in statements to the Emirates News Agency, WAM, that during his participation he will present a project on developing algorithms to identify video crimes that include accidents. Walking, shooting, pickpocketing, and theft as part of the graduation research.

Al Marri pointed out that the most prominent challenge in developing these algorithms is the scarcity of data, as most of them are confidential or private and are only available through global databases. He explained that the greatest challenge lies in developing algorithms to identify different patterns that cannot be predicted, or limited to only one group. A specific place or scenario, which requires advanced artificial intelligence techniques to distinguish normal incidents from unusual ones.

He stressed that, as students, they aspire to apply these algorithms in the labor market to enhance artificial intelligence in the security infrastructure, so that cameras recognize the type of accidents immediately after they occur and inform the concerned authorities before anyone reports the incident.

For her part, Maryam Al-Qubati, a researcher at Khalifa University specializing in chemical engineering, said in statements to “WAM” that she is presenting a project on water analysis using two-dimensional nanomaterials to improve water analysis tools and produce green hydrogen, which helps in using clean energies to achieve climate neutrality.

Al-Qobati explained that nanomaterials are promising in this field thanks to their distinctive properties in capturing electricity more quickly and improving the efficiency of analysis, noting that the use of these materials in water analysis devices will contribute to increasing hydrogen production and achieving sustainability goals.
