Air quality is a crucial (and very sensitive) environmental topic, even in more advanced countries such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/feed\/hashtag\/?keywords=france&amp;highlightedUpdateUrns=urn%3Ali%3Aactivity%3A7123554032157175808\">#France<\/a> \ud83c\udde8\ud83c\uddf5 (investigation in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/feed\/hashtag\/?keywords=paris&amp;highlightedUpdateUrns=urn%3Ali%3Aactivity%3A7123554032157175808\">#Paris<\/a>).<br><br>At this workshop, Dr. Shahrul Nadzir nicely presented the final results of a project led by his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/company\/ukmlinkedin\/\">Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM)<\/a> in collaboration with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/company\/universiti-tunku-abdul-rahman\/\">Universiti Tunku Abdul Rahman (UTAR)<\/a>. A few months ago, I had the opportunity to visit <a href=\"https:\/\/lnkd.in\/d2GPGB2G\">UTAR<\/a>. What a small \ud83c\udf0f ! \ud83d\ude04<br><br>Among experts such as SALINA HANG JEBAT \ud83d\ude4f , I also had the chance to finally meet Soon Li Wei, journalist at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/company\/bernama\/\">Malaysian National News Agency (BERNAMA)<\/a>. We were virtually in touch but this time, we could have a great first exchange ! \ud83d\ude0a<br><br>Dr. Shahrul Nadzir <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/company\/ukmlinkedin\/\">Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM)<\/a> has developed a mobile air quality sensor, which is currently tested in several use cases in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/feed\/hashtag\/?keywords=malaysia&amp;highlightedUpdateUrns=urn%3Ali%3Aactivity%3A7123554032157175808\">#Malaysia<\/a> \ud83c\uddf2\ud83c\uddfe. He is also the founder of DeRIA-LAH Sdn Bhd, a new startup launched last April, which manufactures high quality and innovative sensor technologies (less cost &amp; high accuracy).<br><br>Back to the future \ud83d\ude05, this topic relates to my very first diploma on Hygiene, Safety &amp; Environment (HSE). As Digital city action line leader at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/company\/eit-digital\/\">EIT Digital<\/a> (2017-19), I funded and supervised a similar initiative (involving AI).
