Emory Math Students Win First Place at EGHI/GT Global Health Hackathon

Emory Math students, Leonardo Molinari, Imran Shah, and Jiaqi Yang win first place at EGHI/GT Global Health Hackathon focused on mitigating the impacts of climate change on health, safety, and security.

The Fall ’23 event prompted student teams to envision solutions that address one of the following threats: urban flooding or urban heat in Atlanta or global sea-level rise in densely populated, low-resource urban settings. Molinari, Shah, and Yang's team came up with iManhole, an integrated system that gathers real-time data from manholes and uses machine learning algorithms to predict flooding to manage traffic and evacuation routes.

Congratulations!!!
