Grateful for @QF @QatarComputing and @HBKU for continued support and engagement with DPPA on innovation and emerging technology for preventive diplomacy and mediation. Great discussions at #Dohaforum25 with @hasnah_dr @HBKU and on expanding our cooperation.
Thrilled to welcome @QatarComputing partners to New York for our E-Analytics & Innovation Course. Together, we continue to explore how emerging practices in Artificial Intelligence can make our work in conflict prevention and mediation more inclusive, informed and efficient.

Yesterday at @UN Headquarters, we opened the 7th E-Analytics and Innovation Lab. Co-led by @QatarComputing and the @UNDPPA Innovation Cell. Colleagues across the UN Peace and Security Pillar will dive into design thinking, agentic AI and social media analysis. #UNInnovation
With @OpenAI, we investigate LLMs' capabilities in processing social sensing crisis data, including how they handle disaster types, interpret diverse info types, perform in non-English regions, and which linguistic features impact their performance.

It was a pleasure speaking at this important event. Thanks so much for the invitation @AAlbasir8519 and @UNDPLibya.
Insightful contributions were made by Dr Muhammed Imran, senior scientist at the @QatarComputing Research Institute, who discussed the use of remote sensing, computer vision, and social media analytics to assist emergency responders with mapping and optimised resource allocation.
Honored to speak at Harvard University about our new project on Anticipatory AI for Humanitarian Actions at the Climate Resilient Development workshop. Thoroughly enjoyed the lively discussion and insightful questions from the audience @QatarComputing @Harvard @HarvardSalata @QF
Happy to share I was awarded the 2nd Best GIS Work and Presentation at the GIS Technology Day, organized by the Center of GIS & the Ministry of Municipality. I showcased the use of AI and GIS to enhance crisis response using remote and social sensing data. @QatarComputing

Exciting news! Our paper on Flood Insights won the Deployed Application Award at the AAAI-IAAI conference in Vancouver!
We fuse remote & social sensing and geospatial data for impact assessments during floods. Kudos to the amazing team: Zainab, Umair, Aya, Rizwan, @ferdaofli
It was a pleasure hosting our friends from @UNDPPA at @QatarComputing for the fourth edition of the E-Analytics training course. 35+ UN staff participated in the 4-day event. @UN @MWaehlisch @akelmagarmid @ferdaofli @AmbAlyaAlThani @HBKU @QF
Reflecting on an incredible collaboration between QCRI and UN DPPA, the fourth 'E-Analytics and Innovation Lab' held in Doha from Jan 22-25 was an exciting journey into technological advancements for global peace efforts @mimran15
Presenting the research and systems developed at @QatarComputing to our @UN guests from @UNDPPA
- Monitoring internal displacement via satellite
- SIHA: Improved healthcare
- Monitoring critical facilities during disasters using LLMs
- Fehris: Content management
- Prompting LLMs
Dr. @akelmagarmid inaugurates the E-Analytics Innovation Lab course, a collaborative effort by @UNDPPA and @QatarComputing in Doha. Hosting the DPPA Innovation Cell in Qatar is a great honor, and we eagerly anticipate nurturing mutually beneficial collaborations. @MWaehlisch
Just went through an intense thunderstorm with hail in #Qatar. This was one of the most sudden storms I've ever witnessed. It's a stark reminder that climate change is real.
Hoping for the safety of everyone on the roads, especially delivery workers on motorbikes. #QatarStorm
Honored to be recognized as one of the world's top 2% most-cited scientists by Stanford University, both for the career-long and single-recent-year rankings of 2023. It's a privilege to stand alongside other colleagues from @QatarComputing, @HBKU and @QF.
