Accomplishment

The GreenMetric classification is the most important in the field of green sustainability for universities in the world. It classifies universities based on their commitment to environmental sustainability and climate change, their investment in renewable energy, the management of water resources on campus, and their research production that is consistent with the sustainable development goals approved by the United Nations.

This study is considered the first of its kind. The innovative method of the two researchers from the Arab American University, Dr. Amani Owda, Head of the Department of Engineering, Natural, and Technological Sciences at the Faculty of Graduate Studies, and co-researcher Dr. Majdi Owda, Dean of Faculty of Data Science, is based on diagnosis by measuring millimeter waves that emerge from human skin and produce invisible signatures that contribute to inferring the health of the skin.

The researchers from the university, Dr. Faisal Awartani (as a main author), Dr. Nawar Qutub, and Prof. Dr. Mohammad Asia, cooperated to publish the research on the prevalence of antibodies to the Corona virus in the Palestinian society and the factors affecting it in the internationally refereed journal Vaccines.
