Two Electrical and Electronics Engineering students from the Australian University (AU), Mohammad Al-Ali and Omar Al-Shemmari, received the Best Paper Award in the Renewables Powered Sustainable Applications category at the 4th International Conference on Sustainable Mobility, Renewables and Technology (SMART 2026), held from 18 to 22 October 2026 at the German Jordanian University in Jordan, as part of the Future Tech Summit 2026.
Under the supervision of Mrs. Hania Al-Kanj, the students presented their research paper titled “AI-Driven Solar-Powered Smart Greenhouse with Precision Irrigation and Adaptive Shading for Hot and Arid Climates.” The research explores the integration of artificial intelligence and renewable energy technologies to improve greenhouse efficiency through precision irrigation and adaptive shading, addressing the challenges of agricultural sustainability in hot and arid environments.
This international recognition highlights the students’ dedication to innovation and sustainable engineering solutions, while reflecting AU’s continued commitment to fostering academic excellence, advancing applied research, and equipping students with the skills to address real-world challenges.
