Lynn Younes's student spotlight portrait
Spotlight 05 In collaboration with ITK Podcast

Lynn Younes

Highest GPA in her program. Award-winning projects. Yet she's only getting started.


Purpose

Meet Lynn Younes… a 21-year-old Data Science & Artificial Intelligence graduate (highest weighted GPA in her program) from University of Doha for Science & Technology, an AI intern in the aerospace industry, and an explorer.

Behind every achievement is a source of motivation…

for Lynn, that inspiration comes from her family.

Driven by the sacrifices and hard work of her parents, her goal to build a future that allows her to give back to them.

Rather than limiting herself to a single path, Lynn chose to explore the many ways AI can create an impact.

From education, accessibility, and healthcare to energy, engineering, and the humanities, her work is driven by a single question:

"How can technology make people's lives easier, more accessible, and more connected?"

Today, Lynn is bringing her vision to life within the aerospace industry, currently leading a project focused on reducing technological barriers so engineers can spend more time innovating and less time navigating inefficiencies.

Impact
  • President's Academic Award: Highest Weighted GPA among Artificial Intelligence graduates at #UDST
  • Two-time recipient of the UDST Merit Award
  • Second Place Winner at the International Thesis Poster Competition hosted by the National University of Singapore (NUS)
  • Winner and top placer in multiple hackathons, including #SAS, Q-Chem, Inc., Food For All Studio 8, Qatar Research, Development and Innovation (QRDI) Council x Iberdrola, QIC, and UDST Skills Day, and more
Looking ahead

Lynn aims to continue innovating at the intersection of AI and the physical world… developing intelligent systems that help us better understand and engineer the world around us.

I used to focus so heavily on getting everything right that it sometimes prevented progress. Over time, I learned that execution matters more than perfection.

Real progress doesn't come from waiting for the perfect moment. It comes from taking action and continuously pushing beyond your comfort zone.
