“Hi, I am Maha Moustafa Habib Abdelraouf and I just embarked on a new journey as PhD candidate at TU Delft. I have a background in Architecture, Urbanism and Environmental Science. I am currently investigating which socio-economic groups are most exposed to extreme heat given their social and spatial characteristics. The frequency and intensity of heatwaves are increasing, thus worsening inequality. Learning about how the urban environment affects wellbeing of vulnerable groups will help assess society’s readiness and inform on preventative measures needed to support urban resilience. I look forward to working with researchers at PDPC, it seems like a great platform to a start of a fruitful multidisciplinary collaboration.”
