Expertise: Hydroinformatics, hydrology and hydraulics, water resources modelling and management.

Eng. Khalid Elnoor Ali Hassaballah, is a civil engineer with a broad experience covering different aspects of water resources and hydraulic engineering. He has been working as a researcher at HRC-Sudan since November 2003. In 2010, Eng. Khalid graduated from the MSc Programme in Water Science and Engineering, specialization Hydroinformatics, from UNESCO-IHE Institute for Water Education, Delft, The Netherlands, and since 2012 he is working on his PhD at the same institute. He worked between 2010 and 2012 for the Eastern Nile Watershed Management Project (ENWMP) as a water resource specialist for the Sudan component. Beside his PhD work, Khalid has also been involved in many projects at national and regional levels. In 2013 he was involved in the Sedimentation and operation study for upper Atbara dam complex (SOSADC) national project as a hydrological modeller. Later in 2015 he was involved in the Tekezi Atbara project for IGAD as a hydrological modelling advisor and supervisor. Khalid has a wide experience covering different aspects of water science and engineering includes: catchment hydrology and modelling, hydraulics and river engineering, river morphology, reservoir simulation and optimization, reservoirs bathymetric survey, water resources planning and management and GIS & Remote Sensing Applications. His MSc study in hydroinforamtics developed his skills and knowledge in programming languages such as MATLAB, PCRaster and Python. In addition, the multi-cultural environment at UNESCO-IHE has developed his skills in multi-cultural and inter-personnel as well. Khalid is a conscientious person who works hard and pays attention to detail. He is flexible, quick to pick up new skills and eager to share experience with others and learn from others as well.
