Yes! That is really who you are!

Hello, there. I’m Ibrohim Abdivokhidov, a senior student at New Uzbekistan University. I’m majoring in Computer Science. I’m focused on a wide range of research areas including; Neuroscience and AI. Currently, I am doing research on optimising AlphaFold using Quantum computing.

Recently, I participated in the Huawei Seeds For The Future 2024 program, working in a team of seven diverse students. We faced constant challenges with our project. I stepped up to take the lead and convinced my team to work together more effectively. I clearly outlined the roadmap, created a comprehensive plan, and divided tasks accordingly. We not only finished the project on time but even submitted it earlier than expected. As a result, we advanced to the second stage.

I am the founder and a volunteer at Open Community, where we actively participate in hackathons and develop open-source software. Our goal is to bring together motivated people from different backgrounds to work on impactful projects. In a recent project with a team of three, we used AI to integrate voice commands into open-source software, reducing build time by 33%. This experience highlighted my organisational skills and ability to meet tight deadlines. At Open Community, I also help young tech enthusiasts by providing a collaborative space for learning and innovation through hackathons, tutorials, and live sessions.

If I were to lead a sustainability-related project in my community, I would focus on developing AI-powered hybrid filtering systems to reduce emissions in energy production, especially in bioenergy plants. This system combines ESP, nanofiber-based filters, and wet scrubbers, using AI to optimize performance and enhance sustainability. By minimizing harmful emissions, it contributes to cleaner energy generation and supports renewable energy efforts.

In addition, I am researching how neural networks can improve climate event forecasting, as traditional methods struggle with complex patterns in climate data. AI has shown promise in predicting extreme weather events like hurricanes and heat waves with greater accuracy. This project would help my community better prepare for climate-related disasters and aligns with my broader goal of using technology to address climate change effectively.

The main challenges I expect to face when implementing the Hybrid Filtration System for thermal power plants include technical integration, resource availability, and high initial costs.

First, integrating new filtration technologies, like nanofiber-based filters and wet scrubbers, into Uzbekistan’s older thermal power plants will require significant modifications to the existing systems. This could be technically complex and time-consuming.

Second, the availability of resources, such as nanofiber materials and the technical expertise for installation and maintenance, may be limited. This could lead to the need for importing both materials and specialists, increasing costs and logistical challenges.

Lastly, the initial investment for setting up such a system is high, due to the advanced technologies involved. Although long-term benefits, such as improved air quality and reduced health costs, will eventually outweigh these expenses, securing funding could be difficult at the start.

To overcome these challenges, I would propose starting with pilot projects at select plants to test the integration process. This phased approach allows us to refine the system before scaling. Additionally, I would seek international partnerships to bring in the necessary expertise and explore funding options, such as government incentives and international grants, to help manage the upfront costs. Lastly, training local engineers on maintaining and operating the system will ensure long-term sustainability.
