Description
Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia is one of the world’s coldest capital cities with roughly 1.5 million residents. About fifty percent of the city’s residents are off the electrical grid and millions continue to live nomadic lifestyles, raising livestock for food. Problematically, residents often turn to raw coal - Mongolia’s largest export - as a means to cook food and stay warm. Project Koyash is a philanthropic engineering initiative that was founded in the Arizona State University Program Engineering Projects in Community Service (EPICS) to combat the air quality crisis plaguing the ger districts of Ulaanbaatar. Koyash has already deployed 13 fully functional and autonomous units consisting of a solar powered air filtration system in Ulaanbaatar. Koyash innovated a solution of solar panels, air filters, batteries, inverters, PCB Arduinos, and other necessary components for providing crucial humanitarian services. The team is working to send more units and develop a local supply chain for the systems. This thesis project explores the development of Koyash, assesses the human health implications of air pollution, and reflects on the entire process.

Description
Our Idea: As a team of engineers, two in the engineering field and one in computer
science and software development, we wanted to find a way to put these skills to use in our
company. As we did not have a revolutionary idea to build our own product, we wanted to base
our company on the assumption that people have great ideas and lack the ability to execute on
these ideas. Our mission is to enable these people and companies to make their ideas a reality,
and allow them to go to market with a clean and user friendly product. We are using our skills
and experience in hardware and device prototyping and testing, as well as software design and
development to make this happen.
Implementation: To this point, we have been working with a client building a human
diagnostic and enhancement AI device. We have been consulting on mostly the design and
creation of their first proof of concept, working on hardware and sensor interaction as well as
developing the software allowing their platform to come to life. We have been working closely
with the leaders of the company, who have the ideas and business knowledge, while we focus on
the technology side. As for the scalability and market potential of our business, we believe that
the potential market is not the limiting factor. Instead, the limiting factor to the growth of our
business is the time we have to devote. We are currently only working with one client, and not
looking to expand into new clients. We believe this would require the addition of new team
members, but instead we are happy with the progress we are making at the moment. We believe
we are not only building equity in business we believe in, but also building a product that could
help the safety and wellness of our users.
