The United Arab Emirates University (UAEU) is showcasing its latest innovations and technologies at GITEX Global 2024, held from October 14 to 18. GITEX is one of the world’s largest technology platforms, bringing together industry leaders in advanced technologies and playing a key role in redefining the global digital economy.

H.E. Prof. Ahmed Al Raisi, Acting Vice Chancellor of the United Arab Emirates University, emphasized that the university’s participation in GITEX reflects its commitment to offering innovative solutions to digital challenges, supporting innovation through AI and data applications. He highlighted that the university aims to enhance digital trust and develop sustainable technological solutions in collaboration with both government and private sector partners.

During the exhibition, UAEU presented eight leading research projects and technological innovations developed by its researchers and students. One notable project is the AI-powered application "Draw My Mind," which analyzes children’s drawings to detect psychological indicators. The application was developed under the supervision of Dr. Mohammed Massad, and was presented by students:  Ayesha Al Naqbi, Sara Al Naqbi, Rawan Mubarak, and Ayesha Al Adwi from the College of Information Technology.

Another key project is the "High-Performance Computing" (HPC) system, designed to provide advanced infrastructure for scientific research and artificial intelligence. The system features 12,544 processing cores and 16 graphics processing units (GPUs).

The university also showcased the "UAEUBot," an intelligent virtual assistant and tutor system developed by UAEU’s IT department. The bot provides immediate support to university users, while the virtual tutor assists students in self-learning.

Additionally, a project titled "Privacy Preservation Mechanisms in Mobile Crowdsensing" was presented under the supervision of Dr. Hanan Lamazzi, with contributions from students: Mohammed Abdelkader, Ahmed Abdeljawad, and Yirbol Shamotov.
