Huda Elsherif

About

After working for 3 years at an international engineering consultancy in Sudan, Huda became a LEED AP and decided to specialize in Sustainability. She completed her MSc in 2019 and passed with a distinction. Her MSc thesis identified that the thermal comfort issues in Khartoum (capital of Sudan) along with the increased supply have led to increased Air conditioner (AC) consumption and subsequently electricity shortages. Her PhD is an in-depth analysis of the socio-economic and climatic drivers of the increased AC consumption in Khartoum and aims to set a framework onto which sustainable solutions could be based on.
