Shene Abba

Accomplished Engineering Project Coordinator, Energy Advisor, and Designer with a Bachelor's in Electrical Engineering and over 6 years of experience. My expertise includes energy and utilities assessment, inspections, geospatial applications, and project management. I specialize in energy monitoring using thermal drones and hold a Transport Canada RPAs (Drone) license. I am also pursuing an international license in energy management and a Master's in Systems Design Engineering at the University of Waterloo.

As a Graduate Researcher in the User Performance Lab (UPL) under Prof. Siby Samuel and Prof. Jonathan Li, my research focuses on streetlight energy management and human factors, exploring the impact of efficient lighting on human performance and behavior.
