The Department of Systems and Computer Engineering research professors are using artificial intelligence to tackle a pressing public health challenge: how to keep indoor air clean during wildfire season.
Professor Gabriel Wainer
In an article for The Conversation, Professor Gabriel Wainer and Dr. Hoda Khalil, Adjunct Research Professor, describe how they designed an AI-powered model that can help improve indoor ventilation when outdoor air quality is compromised by smoke. Their work highlights the potential of advanced modelling tools to guide homeowners, building managers, and policymakers in reducing exposure to harmful air pollutants.

The project combines expertise in systems engineering, data science, and public health to create solutions that not only respond to immediate environmental threats but also strengthen long-term resilience.
