From tracking cars in busy parking lots to helping newborns find urgent hospital care, Sheridan student Dohee Kim is proving that artificial intelligence (AI) can do more than just crunch numbers — it can change lives.

As a third-year student in the 计算机系统技术、软件开发与网络工程 program, Kim is turning complex algorithms into practical solutions that make cities smarter and healthcare systems faster as a student researcher, working on two high-impact research projects through Sheridan的发电机's 应用人工智能中心.

Kim's first project, Advancing Smart Parking Solutions through AI, was a collaboration with LocoMobi世界, a company that develops Smart City parking systems, as well as the Town of 奥克维尔.

Tasked with building a vehicle tracking solution using computer vision, Kim helped design a system that detects and monitors vehicles in real time — a tool that could revolutionize how cities manage traffic, enforce regulations and streamline parking payments.

Kim's second project, Find My Bed: An AI Navigator for Babies Requiring Immediate Hospital Transfers, tackled a different but equally pressing problem — the delay in transferring newborns who need urgent care, a critical challenge in neonatal healthcare. Kim与科技公司Korah Limited合作，帮助开发了一个模拟器，可以分析医院的历史数据，根据距离、可用性和患者需求推荐最佳的转院设施。

“It was exciting to apply AI to tangible challenges,” said Kim. “Working on real-world projects and applying my knowledge to help improve smart city environments and patient care felt really meaningful.”

“Sheridan gave me the platform to explore where I want to take my career and helped me bridge the gap between theory and practice.”

Under the guidance of the Centre’s 研究 Manager Dr. Haruna Isah alongside Faculty of Applied Science and Technology professors Drs. Lubna Mohammed and Nick Sajadi, Kim developed a wide range of skills — from technical like Python programming and state machine design, to soft skills including communication and time management. 更重要的是，她在工作中发现了一种更深层次的使命感。

“Sheridan gave me the platform to explore where I want to take my career and helped me bridge the gap between theory and practice,” said Kim. “It’s helped me understand what working in the industry really looks like and given me more confidence as I plan for my future.”

Now equipped with hands-on experience and a clearer vision for her future, Kim is ready to enter her next chapter — 通过 solving real problems that matter, one AI solution at a time.
