A Talented Young Man Invents Malaria-Testing Machine.



(The Ways Daily)-An Ethiopian citizen with blood ties to the Nuer tribe of South Sudan has successfully invented a screening machine, capable of handling Malaria Rapid Diagnostic Tests (RDTs) without the use of laboratories and Paracheck-pf.
According to him, the device has been tested and proved to be capable of detecting malaria infections using a mini fingerprint scanner attached to a laptop.  In the computer, he installed an application program designed to determine the presence of malaria infections in patients' blood.
In an exclusive interview on Monday, Torpuot Majiok Romdor explained that, since he was young before completing his elementary school, he has always been determined to fight back against Malaria that claimed his brother's life.
“Ever since I was young, I have always dreamed of becoming an engineer who can control the spread of Malaria.
I began to think about this when one of my brothers died at a tender age from malaria,” he said
He's currently a fourth-year electrical and computer engineering student at Dilla University and he also holds a Bachelor's Degree in Business Management from Paradise Valley Color College.
"I have my first bachelor's degree in business administration from Paradise Valley Color and I am a fourth-year computer engineering student at Dilla University,” he said.
His quest for Artificial Intelligence (AI) learning did not stop, during the Huawei ICT competition, he and other ICT Innovation students were taken to China as part of Huawei's efforts to provide students with innovation opportunities and sharing of ideas.
“I was the first Ethiopian Engineer to represent entire East African countries at Huawei Global Competition” he said
