Reference excerpt

Reyhan Jamalova is an Azerbaijani woman in STEM whose work is geared toward sustainable energy in rural areas. She is the founder and CEO of Rainergy, a company that focuses on harnessing the power of rainwater to sustainably generate electricity. Currently, she is an undergraduate student at the University of Pennsylvania. Additionally, she has received a number of honorable mentions, awards, and/or honors for the work that she has done, including praise from the Azerbaijani government.

Early life

Childhood Jamalova became interested in human rights as a child. She, along with her best friend started a fundraising campaign for children in Somalia who had limited access to education, food, and water. After collecting $10 by selling things like crayons and pencils, Jamalova and her friend (with the help of Jamalova's parents) brought this money to a charity. As a child, Jamalova and her family experienced torrential rains in the Caucasus Mountains. These rains would lead to devastating events for the community such as the loss of crops, flooding, and general building damage along with potholes and bridge collapse. Growing up in this environment influenced Jamalova's interest in sustainability in order to help her community and others alike.

Education Having been born in a small village, Jamalova did not have access to education in STEM and was expected to marry by the age of 17. However, at the age of 12, Jamalova won the highest score on an entrance exam for a renowned school in Baku and moved away from her family to continue her education. At age 15, Jamalova founded Rainergy. Jamalova received an admissions offer to the University of Pennsylvania along with a scholarship. She is currently in her freshman year at the University of Pennsylvania, interested in majoring in computer and information science. After she earns her bachelor's degree, she plans to get a master's degree in Data Science while working on Rainergy.

Rainergy Jamalova, with the help of her friend and physics tutors, worked for 4 months doing calculations and developing a generator to harvest energy from rainwater. Rainergy was first introduced during a ClimateLaunchpad competition, where it was voted as the favored project among audience members. The building phase of the project was initially funded by the government of Azerbaijan, but has since attracted other investors, including The Global Good Fund and Islamic Development Bank. The device is 9-meters-tall and consists of four integral parts: "a rainwater collector, a water tank, an electric generator and a battery." The role of the rainwater collector is to fill the reservoir with rainwater, which will quickly flow through the generator and produce energy. This energy is then stored via a battery, which allows it to be used for energy even when there is a lack of rainfall. This device reduces reliance on other sources of energy, such as local power grids. Additionally, it is inexpensive. Jamalova and her team's initial prototype could light 22 LED lamps with 22W of power. Compared to other alternative energy systems, such as solar panels, wind turbines, and piezoelectricity, Rainergy emits lower CO2 emissions with 10g per KW/H emitted during electricity production.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Reyhan Jamalova

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Reyhan Jamalova claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In physics, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Reyhan Jamalova before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Reyhan Jamalova ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Reyhan Jamalova

In research: Reyhan Jamalova appears in physics research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Reyhan Jamalova in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Reyhan Jamalova is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 21st-century Azerbaijani women, Azerbaijani businesspeople, Living people, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Reyhan Jamalova outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
