Sara was involved in the WiTrack project under the supervision of MIT\u2019s Wireless Center Director and the 2013 MacArthur \u201cGenius\u201d Fellow, Professor Dina Katabi . WiTrack \u00a0was one of the very few projects selected for the August 2015 White House Demo Day hosted by President Obama. The WiTrack technology allows for highly accurate, 3-D motion tracking by using non-invasive radio signals. The tracking of a person happens through walls and obstructions, pinpointing his\/her 3-D location to within 10 to 20 centimeters. The technology may be used for various purposes such as observing premature infants in incubators or detecting the falls of an elderly living alone.<br \/>\n<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Sara developed a fully functional software solution enabling the packetizing of the data produced in the WiTrack hardware and the secure transportation of the data packets to a database server to be processed by powerful computations. \u201cI was really lucky to be assigned a task that compliments my background in Software Engineering and to work with such a brilliant team at this reputable establishment\u201d, Alarifi commented.<br \/>\n<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>The Dean of the College of Engineering, Dr. Nidal Nasser, elated and proud of Sara\u2019s accomplishment commented:\u201d Sara\u2019s effective participation in a project of such magnitude in such a reputable research institution and her ability to design and implement a fully functional solution within twelve weeks, show the high quality of development our engineering students receive.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A software engineering student from Alfaisal has contributed an enabling software solution to an MIT patented and award-winning project.
