Current profession
Current professional activities type:ResearchA visiting researcher at Hamad Bin Khalifa University, conducting a research that aims to develop a holistic program for Sudan for development of sustainable cost-competitive bioenergy options for all three forms of energy (heat/cooling, power, transport fuel) utilizing the presently almost entirely unutilised forms of biomass that are sustainably and economically available in the country.
