Dr Huda Dawood is a lecturer in Engineering in the school of Computing, Engineering and Digital Technologies (SCEDT). She has a BEng (hons) in Chemical Engineering and a PhD in Measurement and Control.

Dr Dawood has a wide research experience including Energy Optimisation solutions and  environmental and energy economics in Smart Grids, sustainable energy efficient building though whole life cycle and in particular, building information modelling (BIM) and digital construction optimization and data-driven predictive control for building energy management.

 Dr Dawood research interests and experience involves data analytics and using Artificial Intelligence Machine learning and deep learning for optimization and predictive control.

She has research experience in mathematical modelling of dynamic processes using adaptive algorithms such as Artificial Intelligence Neural Network systems for learning and well as solving, classification, prediction, and control. She also has experience in adaptive multivariate statistical process control for monitoring dynamic processes.

Dr Dawood is currently is working on three projects including the following:

•  inteGRIDy H2020 European Projects, where she is a work package leader and task leader to “Abidance to regulation for Privacy & Cyber Security, Open Data policy & data management plan”, “Overall Evaluation of inteGRIDy Framework & Tools Performance” & “Cost Benefit/ Cost Efficiency Analysis & Environmental Impact Assessment”
• SMEmPower Effeciency (A holistic framework for Empowering SME’s capacity to increase their energy efficiency) working on various WPs including course development of new course on Efficiency and sustainability, training and certification.
• Transforming Construction Network Plus, Economic and Social Council, 2 Putting people at the heart of future social housing design and manufacture” as a co- investigator.

Dr Dawood lectures in Engineering Mathematics to first year engineering students, Plant and Process Monitoring to MEng Chemical engineering students,  Mathematical Modelling Application to final year Mathematics, Engineering Projects to MSc and undergraduate students and is a supervisor to 7 PhD students.

Dr Huda Dawood is Teesside University representatives on "The Northern Power" project which is funded by the EPSRC under its Inclusion Matters initiative to improve equality, diversity and inclusion (EDI) within Engineering and the Physical Sciences (EPS). The project is aimed at supporting early career researchers from traditionally under-represented groups (e.g. gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation, disability). She is also a member of the SCEDT Athena Swan subgroup and co-leading on the career progression for fixed RAs agenda.
