After KAUST Academy
Hashim is studying computer engineering at King Abdulaziz University (2024-2029). In summer 2026, Hashim worked as a Teaching Assistant in the KAUST Gifted Student Program Emerging Technology Program and took part in the CanSat Competition organized by the American Astronautical Society.
Summer project
Artificial Intelligence Specialization · Cohort 2025
AI-Driven Mapping of Forest Biodiversity
A team of students led by Ph.D. student Yu Wei and assistant Tong Qiu from the Spatial Ecology and Environmental Data Sciences (SEEDS) lab will utilize cutting-edge remote sensing technologies—including hyperspectral imagery and airborne Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR)—combined with an advanced deep learning framework to enhance forest biodiversity monitoring. The students will identify key features beneficial for species identification, develop an AI-based tree species classification model, and create an interactive map of forest species in an eastern hardwood. This project will establish a foundational dataset for large-scale assessments of forest biodiversity responses to climate change, providing crucial insights for effective conservation planning and management strategies in evolving ecosystems under rapid global change.
