My name is Christy Lahoud, a Lebanese born in 1995. I am a mechanical engineer, graduated from the Hol Spirit University of Kaslik (USEK). I pursued a Masters degree in Renewable Energy at the Lebanese University (UL) Saint Joseph University (USJ). In 2024, I obtained my PhD in Electrical and Energy Engineering from Saint Joseph University (USJ). I also teach at Saint Joseph University (USJ), where I share my engineering knowledge with students. At the same time, I work as a smoke control consultant at SODECA S.L.U., where I leverage my technical skills to provide innovative solutions in the management of ventilation systems and smoke control.
