Active Participation of the Informatics and Software Engineering Department in the World Innovation and Scientific Inventions Day

On Monday, April 21, 2025, in celebration of World Innovation and Scientific Inventions Day, the morning show “Sabah Dijlah” hosted a distinguished segment featuring Assistant Lecturer Adel Hussein, a faculty member of the Informatics and Software Engineering Department at Cihan University-Erbil, along with two students from the same department, Darin Hussein and Mahmood Hirsh.

The segment focused on their latest innovative project: an AI-powered smart doll, designed to interact with users in a natural and intelligent manner. The project highlights the department’s commitment to advancing modern technology and applying it in diverse fields such as entertainment, education, and human interaction.

During the interview, Assistant Lecturer Adel Hussein emphasized the importance of guiding young talents toward innovation. He noted that the project serves as a practical example of integrating academic knowledge with hands-on application, reflecting the department’s dedication to fostering student skills in artificial intelligence and machine learning.

The students, Darin Hussein and Mahmood Hirsh, explained that the idea for the project stemmed from their desire to create an interactive product applicable across multiple domains. The project required several months of research and development and stands as a testament to the fruitful collaboration between faculty and students.

The appearance received positive feedback from the program’s audience, with many praising the team’s scientific and creative abilities demonstrating the great potential of Iraqi students in the realm of modern technology.

This participation is part of a broader initiative by the Software and Informatics Engineering Department to showcase student achievements and encourage continued innovation, contributing to the advancement of scientific development in Iraq.
