Mr Fadi Alwadan
Msc Student - Renewable Energy Development
Heriot-Watt University
Hi, my name is Fadi, from Yemen. I’m currently an on-campus student in Orkney, studying towards an MSc in Renewable Energy Development. I have 12 years experience in the oil and gas industry, in which I worked in different roles, such as; Technical Sales Engineer, Supply Chain Specialist and most prominently as a Drilling Engineer. I also co-founded ‘Innovative Yemen’, a local NGO and worked in recent years as a Project Manager, Livelihoods and Resilience Project, for the World Food Program. I am interested in the application of micro-grids in rural areas and look forward to apply what I will learn during my postgraduate degree to help those who are most vulnerable to climatic and economic shocks.
