Erfan Nouraee: The Young Innovator Who's Making a Difference
Erfan Nouraee loves to experiment with everything from artificial intelligence to baking.
Nouraee, a second-year electrical engineering student, also saw firsthand how complicated it can be to extract noise from light signals.
He said he found a way to help solve the problem while browsing the University of Oxford's website, a site he said he checks weekly to see "if there's anything new."
The website featured an article on new technologies used to detect noise to signal ratio, which Nouraee figured he could adapt to make high-speed internet available and accessible.
Nouraee reached out to his parents, both engineers, his teachers and experts at local colleges and universities for help.
When Nouraee was named one of 10 finalists in the 2016 Khawrazmi Youth Award earlier this year, he was able to partner with a scientist to help develop his innovation.
The result is the Photon Detector, a sensor-based device designed to detect noise to signal ratio in the fibre optic communications.
The device utilizes photodiode sensors -- similar to the technology Nouraee saw on the website -- to detect noise to signal ratio. It can then send the results to a processor.
Nouraee presented the Photon Detector to a panel of judges this week in a live competition at the Innovation Center in Toronto.
He was named the grand prize winner and received a $1000 prize.
