DAAD climapAfrica Postdoc Fellow
University of Benin
Nigeria
Dr. -Ing. Sunday Egbiki is currently a lecturer and researcher in the Department of Civil Engineering, Nigeria Maritime University, Warri, Delta State. He obtained his PhD in Water Resources and Environmental Engineering from the University of Benin, Edo State, Nigeria. Dr. Egbiki obtained his master's degree in Water Resources and Engineering Management from the University of Stuttgart, Germany, and his bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering from Ambrose Alli University, Ekpoma Edo State, Nigeria. His research focuses on simulation and comparative evaluation of the performances of a green building as a panacea for climate change mitigation. He wants to actually understand how a green building will perform in regions with different climate, physiographic and ecological regimes. This will enable the uptake of green building policies for climate change mitigation.
Climate change expertise and interests

I participate at climapAfrica because...
It provides platforms for African researchers to network, interacts, and interface with the international community on how to tackle the effects of climate change which is a global challenge. globally. It gives African researchers the opportunity to learn and co-learn in order to develop local content strategies in solving our environmental problems.
