About

Electrical Engineer who spent most of the last few years in program and content leadership. I trained across control rooms, meter programming, and distribution networks at the Sudanese Electricity Distribution Co. Now I lead content development at Qudrat, a Sudanese startup building AI education for Arabic speakers — deciding which tools fit which course and running quality control on full learning tracks. In between, I've coordinated STEM programs: helped grow a women-in-energy community by 500 members in its first year, and managed the team behind a scholarships database that's reached 1M+ followers and helped 20+ students land funding. MATLAB and Simulink on one side, stakeholder management and team coordination on the other.

    An IEEE Student Branch provides opportunities to meet and learn from fellow IEEE Student and Graduate Student Members and engage with professional IEEE members locally. An active IEEE Student Branch can be one of the most positive elements of your academic career, offering programs, activities, and professional networking opportunities that build critical skills outside of the classroom. IEEE currently has Student Branches at thousands of universities and colleges in hundreds of countries throughout the world (not to forget to mention that IEEE is a nonprofit organization founded in 1963. It works solely toward innovating, educating and standardizing the electrical and electronic development industry. It is best known for its development of standards such as IEEE 802.11).
